Appreciation - George W. Borg

Joe Muscat writes:
George W. Borg went to meet the Risen Lord on September 3.

I have known George for the past 30 years mainly during his days while managing Blue Bell and later VF (Malta) Ltd. Despite such a demanding role he cherished the time he used to spend on the floor with the employees and this was manifested in the mutual respect that prevailed. He was an inspiration to us all through his vision, advice and leadership.

George was a real gentleman with sound principles in life. He never forgot his upbringing and always preached good Catholic values. His family came first and foremost and he loved them dearly.

His approach to life was always positive and he did not lose his sense of humour and a knack for telling jokes even during his serious illness. I still remember him cracking a joke just days before he passed away.

To his wife Lina, his children and all the family, I offer my deepest sympathy and assure them that George will be held in our prayers. It was a real honour to have worked so closely with George. His motto in life "simply the best" could not have been more appropriate.
