  • Tribute to Professor Guido De Marco by Mr
    Tribute to Professor Guido de Marco by Mr. Tom McGrath (Ireland) Administrator, European Commission, External Relations DG, Brussels Mme de Marco, Members of the de Marco family, your Excellencies, dear friends am not speaking on behalf of the European Commission, the I European External Action Service or the European Union, as I know that President Barroso and HRVP Ashton have already addressed their thoughts and condolences to you on the sad occasion of Guido’s passing last year. So, for the next 2 minutes I will be representing myself, as I share some personal reflections and memories with you of a person I hold in the highest regard and affection. I feel immensely privileged: ● to have known Guido, ● to have shared his company here and in his – your – home, ● to have listened and learned from his quiet wisdom, ● to have been embraced by his extraordinary warmth and humanity. Quite simply – he was a monumental man. 31 And thus, his loss is equally monumental – for his family, his country, the Euromed region, his friends worldwide, MEDAC and these very seminars. He was a man of great intellect, dignity and humility. He was a man of extreme warmth who possessed the great gift, when you were in his company, of making you feel that you were the only person in the universe as he listened to you; and that your words sprang from eternal fountains of wisdom. But it was Guido’s words that fill the void left by his passing. He was a wonderful orator who spoke – ● With passion and poetry, ● And at length, without notes, with amazing powers of recall.
