ATTARD-MANCHÉ – GEORGE passed away peacefully at the age of 91. Following the recent loss of his beloved wife Jane of 70 years and his sister Lilian, he leaves behind a deeply loving family: his two adoring children, Deborah and Jeremy, and his three cherished grandchildren, Alexandra, Tom, and Toby, along with a large extended family and dear friends in the UK, Malta, and around the world. At heart, George was a dedicated military man, an officer and a gentleman known for his meticulous attention to detail and unwavering diligence. He always kept his promises and was fiercely loyal to those he loved. A passionate gardener, brilliant bridge player and devoted Chelsea FC fan, he brought joy to everyone around him. His spontaneous singing and whistling were trademarks of his extraordinary spirit. He will always be remembered as a truly unique individual. We will treasure his memory, which will live on forever in our hearts. Mass præsente cadavere will be held on Wednesday, October 16, at 2pm at Gudja parish church. Any donations to Din l-Art Ħelwa will be gratefully received. May the Lord grant him eternal peace and rest in the heavenly realms.
