FARRUGIA. On April 18, at Mater Dei Hospital, VINCENT, husband of Liubov, aged 43, passed away very peacefully, comforted by the last rites of the Catholic Church. He leaves to mourn his deep-felt loss his children Ivan and Anton, his parents John and Ludgarda, his sister Nadia and her husband Brian, his brother Alexander and his wife Anne Marie, his brother Mark, his nieces and nephew, aunts and uncles, cousins, his colleagues at Deloitte and friends. In our grief and with much love, we honour and remember our courageous, intelligent, kind, wise and loving husband, father, son, brother, uncle, cousin, nephew and friend whom we were blessed to have in our lives.
