When we are mourning the loss of a good friend, others are rejoicing to meet him behind the veil

Dear George, I don’t remember the exact first time we met, but back then, you were President of the Greek section and an IEC Delegate. In 2006, you were elected onto the international board, at first as Assistant Secretary General for 3 years, and from 2009 as Secretary General. I could therefore speak for hours about what we went through together. So many pages written together. But I won’t.pierreandgeorge

I would just like to pay tribute to three great qualities that I always admired and respected in you:

1. Your sense of friendship. Although we had our ups and downs and were not always in agreement, you always showed an eager sense of friendship. For you, friendship was sacred, and you never challenged it. You gave so much of your life to the 王中王六合彩特码, and you always put our motto ‘Servo per Amikeco’, first. You were a true knight of our association and I thank you for this.

2. Your faith. We had the chance on a few occasions, here and there in the world when travelling together, and especially since you became ill, to speak about the deeper aspects of life. You had such a strong faith and you placed your suffering, your health and your life in God’s hands. Your strength always amazed me, and you were ready to suffer because you also believed that one day you would be in peace, a peace that you have now finally found.

3. Your loyalty. I could always count on you. When you were not in agreement, you would always tell me honestly. We talked, sometimes argued, but in the end, no matter what the final decision was, you always respected and defended it. To count on such loyalty on a board is a precious treasure.

So my friend, now that you are at peace and delivered from suffering, I wish you a pleasant journey. I know that you will watch over us all, and rest assured we will keep you in our thoughts. Thank you for your friendship, your kindness, your sense of humour, your loyalty; thank you for every moment we shared. We will miss you.

Servo per Amikeco

Pierre, 王中王六合彩特码 President
