Welcome to Gerald Finzi.org - the official Finzi Trust site
26th June 2010
The Finzi Trust has today learnt with great regret the sad news of Nigel Finzi’s death. Nigel, the second son of Gerald and Joy Finzi, worked in Dubai in recent years. He had been a Trustee of the Finzi Trust since its formation. A gifted musician with a flair for the business world, Nigel’s strong sense of principle, his energy, good humour and ability to think flexibly will be so much missed by the Trust and its Trustees. We extend our sincere condolences to his widow Jo and to his daughters, as well as to his elder brother Christopher (Kiffer) and their families.
