George Gblohtay Farngalo

The Farngalo and Collingwood families with profound regrets announce the death of their loved one, George Gblohtay Farngalo in his 56th year. This mournful event occurred on Sunday, April 6th at the St. Joseph's Catholic Hospital in Sinkor, Monrovia, Liberia. George is a graduate of the Archbishop Francis Carroll High School and the University of Liberia, where he was an active member of the University's chorus. George will be indelibly missed as an agent of care and relief by the many he served in his capacity as coordinator and director of CARITAS, a Catholic relief agency serving the Bong and Nimba regions. Many who sought refuge in Danane, Ivory Coast during the height of the civil conflict were direct recipients of George's humanitarianism as he executed his CARITAS duties. Prior to his lengthy tenure with CARITAS, George served as Director of Training at Cooperative Development Agency.

Left to mourn this great loss is his mother, Luopu (Mary) Farngalo, his son, Gondah, his siblings, Bernard, Renee, Gregory, Judy, Dayleh, Guortay, Emma, Darius, Agatha, Gail, Anna, the Collingwoods - John, Jacob, Betty and Regina; he was predeceased by his father, Ambassador Gabriel G. Farngalo, his brother, Gabriel Jr., his sister Kpolay, his adopted parents, Rose and James Collingwood, and James Collingwood Jr.; a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and colleagues will miss George dearly; his absence will be greatly felt. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in perpetual peace.

Wake keeping and funeral services will be held on April 24th and 25th at St. Martin's Parish, Gbarnga, Bong County, Liberia. Interment follows at the Farngalo Farm, Gbarnga, Bong County, Liberia.
