Today we bid
goodbye or so long to one of my classmates, Fr Teddy Cumbo, who passed away
last Sunday. He is the first to die, of the class of 13 that were ordained on
June 19, 1977. Fr Teddy hails from Luqa, from where he will be buried today. He
served in his native parish as
Vice-Parish Priest as well as in Our Lady of Lourdes, Paola, also as a
Vice-Parish Priest.

He spent a part of his ministry in Melbourne, Australia. In
fact me and him were the only two from our class who experienced a considerable
time working in foreign dioceses. Teddy was in Australia, while I was in the
USA. Over the past 6 years he has returned to Malta and was residing at the
home for retired priests, known as Dar tal-Kleru in Birkirkara. May God grant him eternal
rest.
