Beloved husband and dad, you left a void amongst us since you left. We knew that there was no hope of recovery. We climbed with you, step by step, your sorrowful way to Calvary. You suffered your brave blindness and long-term illness borne with Christian fortitude, in silence, never complaining or raising a fuss, bearing them very bravely for over 43 years. Your extreme "generosity, kindness, faith and love" towards God, Our Lady, us, your families, friends and people you hardly ever knew. Finally, you are home in paradise with Francesca, your loving dad and your uncle, Dr Antoine Mercieca. Rest in peace. Your loving wife and two sons, Andrew and his fiancée Begona and Miguel and his wife Jola and their newly born son Jake whom you just missed for a few months, as it was always your last wish to become a grandfather.

Oral health
