Comma and semicolon usage for a memorial plaque

English Language & Usage Asked by IslandofSuchGreatComplexity on July 9, 2021

I’m trying to write the text for my father’s memorial plaque, and am very limited by the character count set by the engraver, as there is only so much they can fit on the sign. My father was an immigrant and was very proud of how he arrived in the country we live in with ‘£3 in his pocket’. He was also much loved by all who knew him, so I wanted to incorporate both of those things into the memorial. I just wanted to check whether I need a comma in the text below:

Arrived in the UK with £3 in his pocket. Left this earth loved by all.

Should it actually be Left this earth, loved by all?
