The date and time of the funeral for Terry Farrugia, one of Malta’s biggest radio DJ pioneers who passed away last Friday, has been announced for tomorrow at 2pm, at the Sanctuary of the Divine Mercy in San Pawl tat-Tarġa.

The announcement was made by Terry Time Trust, a group that was set up to help the veteran DJ and his family with the immense financial burden of treatment and chemotherapy relapse during Terry’s three-year-long battle with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML).

Terry was supported throughout his treatment by his wife, Krista, and two boys aged 10 and six.

Terry’s family has made a specific request ahead of tomorrow’s funeral

“In lieu of flowers and cards, the family requests donations to be made to Puttinu Cares,” Terry Time Trust’s Facebook post reads.

The post finishes up with the words “Thank You Terry”, a phrase so many local celebrities, fans, friends and family have uttered over the last couple of days.

“A piece of Maltese radio died with you”

A number of local DJs paid tribute to Terry over the weekend, with everyone from former colleagues to past protégées honouring Terry’s immense contribution.

“A great husband, an amazing father and the best boss you could ever ask for,” Vibe’s Valentina Rossi said, with former superstar electronic act Tenishia half Cyprian Cassar even going so far as to thank the OG DJ for believing in him and helping the duo make it to such a huge international stage.

“There was a reason why everyone called you ‘Boss’,” fellow former Bay Radio DJ Nate Darmanin said on Friday. “Because you truly were.”
