One can say that during his tenure at our club, he was very well respected, and this was proven by the fact that during a musical programme, or even during a meeting at the club, he used to receive a number of presents and commemorations, donated by followers of the band. In 1905 he left this band in order to join once again the [[Queen’s Own Band Club]] of Senglea. Mro Abela died aged 83 in 1938.
