On July 28, Dr PIERRE CHIRCOP, aged 66, passed peacefully away comforted by the rites of Holy Church.

He will forever be remembered by his devoted wife Dr Marcelle Chircop, his children Dr Joshua Chircop and Dr Bettina Chircop, and their fiancés Dr Clarissa Fenech and Mr Darrell Baldacchino, his brothers and sisters, in-laws, nephews and nieces, other relatives, numerous friends and patients.

Mass praesente cadavere will take place at St Peter in Chains parish church, Birżebbuġa, on Thursday, July 31, at 8.30am.

No flowers by request but donations to Hospice Malta, Santa Venera will be appreciated.

A much-loved GP, and member of the Jurade de Saint-Émilion, Pierre’s enthusiasm for life, medicine and adventure will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Lord, grant him eternal rest.
