In a post on social media, DLGO Larnaca president Angelos Hadjicharalambous said “the DLGO Larnaca family mourns the loss of one of our own.” He described Georgiou as a worthy and much-loved colleague, a young family man known for his character, work ethic and dedication, and said his loss had filled the organisation with deep sorrow. Hadjicharalambous said the Board’s thoughts were with Georgiou’s wife, his two children and his entire family, and bid him farewell. He added that the DLGO Board would meet to decide on measures in Georgiou’s memory, to be announced later that day.
