Gone (you can keep this suit of lights)

At about this time of the year for the past 5 years, Mario Axiaq and I have been putting together a list obituaries for people known for their public life in Malta. It is an exercise that works hand in glove with Mario's aboutmalta.com project to chronicle Malta day by day and MaltaMedia's round-up of the year gone by.

Here's the list for this year, so far:
