“I want to pay respect to the Honourable Robert Arrigo, who was a staunch supporter of Spurs actually. But he suddenly passed away yesterday…” The sombre tribute bellowed across Old Trafford as Maltese and foreign supporters alike took a moment to pay their respects to the late Tottenham supporter.

The initiative was taken on the initiative of Nationalist Party Whip Robert Cutajar and was originally planned to be a ‘get well soon’ message which sadly turned into a tribute to a late colleague and friend.

RIP Robert Arrigo.

Touching tribute by wife of late 28 year old who died suddenly

Oct 19 2022

A touching tribute was shared on social media by Rebecca Galea Luca, the wife of the late 28-year-old Jean Luke, who was found dead late on Tuesday morning.

The two had gotten married four months ago, but their loving marriage was cut short after Jean Luke was found dead despite being a healthy young man.

As the cause of death is still being investigated, Rebecca shared a touching tribute for Jean Luke, recalling the last conversation the two had shared.

Rebecca recalled how Jean Luke wanted her to stay home, but she had to attend to her work. His last response was ‘uff ok sabiha inhobbok’ (ugh, ok i love you, beautiful).

‘How can I live without you’ she asked. ‘You always treated me like a queen and I literally had nothing else to wish for. She recalled him encouraging her about finding their dream home.

‘I am at a loss for words. I tried everything in my power to save you’ she ended her post. The grief was shared by many people who are still baffled over the sudden passing to which no cause has as of yet been found.

Mallia himself has lived in the UK for around 5 years, having moved to Oxford to finish both a Masters and a PhD in Edinburgh. However, his passion for baking returned after his academic plans did not shape up what he expected them to be.
