To the Azzopardi family: Rita, Michele, David, Mone', Dillon, Fiona and Maeve,
I´m so sorry to hear the sad news about Mr. Azzopardi. Ever since I met him in 1976 his gentle, kind, generous and jovial manner always made me feel welcome in your home. I hadn´t seen him in recent years, but I thought of him very often and always wished him and the family my best. He was a strong man who achieved great and well-deserved success both in business and in his social life; he was always surrounded by people he cared for and who cared for him. I knew him as a great husband and father who was proud of his family and whose greatest joy came from his wife, Rita, his children, grandchildren, and great granddaughters because he loved them with all his heart. He will be greatly missed. May he rest in peace and may God comfort all your family with blessings during this difficult time.
With deepest sympathy,
Irene Lopez Hovland

I am so sad to learn about Frank. We enjoyed seeing him at the Maltese picnics and events. He would always stop by our table and socialize with the family. He was very welcoming and such a nice man. Frank will be missed.

Condolences to the Azzopardi family and especially to Dave. I started dealing in So. City Lumber in 1976. With very little experience in business, Frank helped me by setting up a credit account and sending a bit of work my way. Frank was a true gentleman.
RIP. Frank.
