CONCACAF President Jack Warner expressed his condolences to Haitian Football Federation President Yves Jean Bart regarding last week's earthquake, writing in a letter that he was "deeply saddened by this tragedy which has taken so many lives and wreaked so much destruction."

"To offer hope in a time when all seems hopeless may seem cosmetic. To believe that joy can be restored in the face of so much despair borders on insensitivity," Warner wrote. "I believe, however, that all things work together for good to them that love the Lord and though weeping may endure through the night, there is a joy that will come in the morning."

Warner said he would raise Haiti's plight with both the finance committees of both FIFA and CONCACAF to "contribute in a way that signals our love, our care and concern."

Carlos Ortiz Cardoza, a referee for 20 years in his native El Salvador, died Monday from complications after a recent illness. He was 62. Ortiz was a member of the FIFA referees' committee for seven years and its CONCACAF counterpart for eight years.

He also was president of the El Savadoran Football Federation's referees panel for six years and was chairman of the Central American (UNCAF) referees committee for the past eight years.

"Carlos has been a very important part of the very positive developments in refereeing in CONCACAF and most significantly in Central America over the past eight years," CONCACAF President Jack Warner said "Our hearts go out to his family and the football family which will miss his guidance and direction which we have come to count on."
