Hey Marco,

were to start… even a few days after receiving the sad news I still cant believe you not with us anymore. Still remember when you joined me as second team member in Malta. Sitting opposite of me for the years before covid made us work from home we had some good laughs and banter. You always had open ear and a smile on your face even if I other members of the team went on a tantrum seeing you smile nonetheless put things back in perspective. Even outside of work on team nights out, a pint (never was just one) at happy days in the evening or poker nights taking my last pennies. 

It was a honour having meet and worked with you and being able to have called you a friend. Starting work each morning doesnt feel the same at the moment knowing you went send a message on slack, see you onlne or in the office. You will be badly missed by me (even after moving to betfair part of team and i cant ask you for a last minute swap).

take care, rest in peace and hopefully will see you again some time.

To your family and girlfriend, my deepest condolences. No words can make up for your loss but please know we all loved Marco and forever will keep him in our hearts
