“Our prayers are promised for all his family and friends. May the many hearts he touched through the human and Christian education of the youth, be for him a source of salvation. Rest in Peace.”

His nephew, Daniel also shared a message on social media. “I am still dumbfounded by the sad news. My fantastic uncle, a great man, a larger-than-life character with a heart of gold, always in an endless effort to help others.”

“A life dedicated to giving, I hope he has received at least a fraction back of what he gave both to society as well as to an endless number of people, whose life he influenced in one way or another. He certainly influenced mine. Farewell dear Uncle Geoffrey. You will finally get all the reward you deserve.”

Our condolences go out to Mr Scerri’s family and friends.
