He was born in Senglea on 27 September 1922 to Alfred and Annuntiata, born Darmanin.
After studying at De La Salle College, he entered the Shipyard in 1937.
Between 1942 and 1962 he was an Aero Engine Fitter with the Royal Air Force at Kalafrana Station.
Initially, he was a partner of the Museum and when, on 10 January 1954, he married Antoinette Galea Maniscalco, he still continued to help the Society of Christian Doctrine. In fact, he was a member of the Museum’s cooperators’ branch, who are those who support the Museum from outside. He was also President of the Holy Name of God Society.
On 18 February 1962 he was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Malta in the interests of the Christian Workers Party. In fact, he had risen to Parliament through a by-election of Mr. Tony Pellegrini who had been elected in the VI and VIII electoral districts and had relinquished the VIII district, thus filling the seat vacated by him.
On 18 May 1962 he made his first speech in Parliament. He spoke about how much his Catholic faith had driven him to be active in politics ... that in man you cannot separate what you believe politically from what you practice. He was a political member who lived his Catholic faith.
He himself used to say that at that time, when he was active in the Christian Workers Party, it was a sad period in political history because many of the debates in Parliament would end in attacks on one another due to the religious political issue.
He served until 15 February 1966 when parliament was dissolved.
He was also vice-president of the Christian Workers Party, president of the Young Christian Workers, Paola, national president of the Adult Section of the Young Christian Workers, a member of the General Council of the General Workers Union, a member of the Industrial Council and co-founder of the Richmond Foundation.
A man of principle, who would not bend principles for nothing, he died on 1 November 2011. He is buried in the Cemetery of Santa Maria Addolorata.
