He was first admitted at Mayo clinic last Friday. He was later transferred to Mengo on Tuesday.
He left a wife Christine and five boys and four girls. Alex Kasule said the body would remain at Mengo hospital mortuary yesterday. Burial is set for Sunday in Busaabala.
Kasule rose in the referee/judges ranks of world amateur boxing body AIBA in the seventies and eighties. He officiated at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. He also served as UOC treasurer.
