He also leaves to mourn his loss his siblings Charles, Joe, Gladys, Alex, Pauline, Martin and Joanna and their respective spouses, nieces and nephews, Svetlana, as well as his friends of which there were many.

His family would like to thank everyone who gave him comfort and support.

Mass for the repose of his soul will be celebrated on Saturday, April 12, at 8am, at Our Lady of Sorrows parish church, St Paul’s Bay, followed by interment in the family grave at Santa Maria Addolorata Cemetery.

We hold the Hospice staff who looked after Mario very dear to our hearts and request that instead of flowers, contributions to Hospice Malta, St Venera, would be very much appreciated.

Lord, grant Mario eternal peace.
