Giacomo Della Torre
On Friday, 7th April 2023, RWS Italy suffered a loss that leaves a huge void. Our beloved friend and colleague Giacomo was taken prematurely and unexpectedly from our lives. He joined the SDL family in 2017 as an in-house contractor, and today we all mourn him as a member of the RWS family. A brilliant and clever colleague, his work at RWS was always invaluable, but above all he was a good and generous person that will always have a special spot in our hearts. Below, anyone can take the opportunity to remember Giacomo in their own words. We will miss you so much, Giacomo [Italian] Venerdì 07 aprile RWS Italia ha subito un lutto che lascia un vuoto enorme. Il nostro amato amico e collega Giacomo ci ha lasciato in modo prematuro e inaspettato. È entrato a far parte della famiglia SDL nel 2017, e oggi lo piangiamo tutti come membro della famiglia RWS. Un’intelligenza brillante che lo rendeva inestimabile nel suo lavoro in RWS, ma soprattutto un uomo buono e generoso che porteremo sempre nel cuore. Lasciamo a voi, di seguito, l’opportunità di ricordarlo con le vostre parole. Ci mancherai tanto, Giacomo
Mafunadzo Winnie KHUMELA
Mafunadzo Winnie Khumela was a beacon of love and respect, a cherished soul whose presence was a blessing to her family and all who knew her. A devoted mother, her heart swelled with pride at the sight of her children's accomplishments, especially as they walked across graduation stages, a testament to her nurturing and guidance. Her love was a boundless ocean, deep and vast, touching the hearts of her beloved husband who treasured her deeply. Her dedication to Elohim Yahuah through Yeshua HaMashiach was unwavering, a testament to her faith that shone brightly in her every action and word. Winnie was a pillar of strength and devotion, her commitment to the Holly Shabbat Day unshakable. She honored this sacred time with a reverence that inspired those around her, her adherence to its sanctity a reflection of her profound spirituality. Her discipline in faith was matched by her kindness and generosity, making her strict observance of the Shabbat not just a personal practice but a lesson in piety and love. Winnie's legacy is one of love, faith, and unwavering commitment to the values she held dear, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of her family and community. May this description honor the memory of Mafunadzo Winnie Khumela and provide comfort in remembering a life so beautifully lived.

John Hunter
Not wanting to miss the party, John arrived in this World around 10:00pm New Year’s Eve 1968. He made a big entrance, weighing in at 10lb 8oz! John lived his life exactly how he started - doing things his way and ‘making an entrance’ wherever he went! He had a huge heart, a big personality and a monster appetite for the things that made him happiest. Music, playing his guitars, nice cars, Formula 1 racing, cooking, and eating great food, holidays in France, nature programs, wildlife and animals, especially big ones! Spending time with his ‘grand-children’ gave John the excuse to be the big kid that he was, and they loved his antics! John’s many close friends were a big part of his life and he felt honored to have known them; some of whom go back to his days at Orley Farm School and Gordonstoun, where he spent several years enjoying the rigors of life in remote Scotland. He made friends wherever he went and knew someone from just about every realm of life. To know John was to love him! He was bold and brave and fearless and yet in oh so many ways, he was a push over! After many years in and around London, working in the family business and venturing out into several small businesses of his own, John settled in Bournemouth where he, his parents and his sister Carol have a long-standing relationship with the area. A stint in the Bournemouth ‘Specials’ Police force saw him work hard at getting super fit, and on many a morning, he could be seen running up and down the ‘zig-zag’ ravines to make the cut! John shared his life with his wife and Soul Mate, Susan, whom he loved passionately. Together they had dreams of moving to the country, raising chickens, and getting multiple dogs. He was close to realizing that dream and would have done it in the way that he did everything. With a lot of bravado and a big entrance! He has made his final entrance now in the biggest arena there is. He departed here with grace and bravery, and resignation, that sadly the party had come to an end. Rest in Peace and go get ‘em John!

Devoted family man. Hardworking, enthusiastic and energetic in everything he did. Generous with his time and money to family, friends and his community. Organiser, volunteer and motivator. A life well lived and appreciated by us who had the opportunity to have known him. Taken all too suddenly, leaving a void that seems impossible to fill.
Marina Petrovic
We lost a friend, a colleague and the world lost a pure soul. Everyone remembers the first time they met Marina, she stuck out like a sore thumb among gray suits - her quirky style, dreadlocks, viral charm. She joined UNDP Croatia in 2012 as an intern. In these short 10 years she has left a deep mark in the organization: she co-founded the AltFin Lab, and from there went on to test and grow UNDP’s approach to crowdfunding, having supported campaigns around the world, established the Crowdfunding Academy and worked with the Bureau of External Relations and Advocacy on mainstreaming crowdfunding throughout UNDP. She lived how she left us: fearless, intense and relentless to do more.
