Frank Salt, past president Rotary Club Malta, and John de Giorgio, president Rotary Club Malta, write:

Ivan Burridge was one of the very first members of The Rotary Club in Malta. He was a very respected member of the club, always willing to help in all Rotary activities.

Ivan was a colleague and friend for many years both in the property business, in the field of investments and also as a member of the Rotary Club of Malta.

Ivan was also prepared to help all his business colleagues and friends and he was a person who always did what he had to do in the most honest and exemplary fashion.

Rotary Club Malta has been in existence since 1967 and being a member of this prestigious club was a great honour both for Ivan and for the club itself and he was a regular attendee during all the years when he was a member.

Some 15 years ago Ivan lost his first wife, Evelyn, which was a great loss to all those who knew her. He then remarried Jo, who accompanied Ivan on all social occasions pertaining to the club.

During the last few years of his life, apart from the loving care bestowed upon him by his wife, Jo, he was also well looked after at Casa Antonia, where he was always fondly remembered amongst his friends and colleagues.

Ivan was a man of great piety, honesty, generosity and integrity. He will be missed both for his special attributes and solid friendship.
