He was a loving son, husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather and friend that touched so many lives. John was born in Mosta a beautiful city in the island of Malta, pursuing his dreams he moved to Canada were he began one of the most important chapters of his life. There he created lifelong friendships, successful business and started a family.
Then, he embarked towards the American dream where he expanded his family and friendships that accompanied him until his rebirth to heaven. John was a special person to everyone he met and he was a family man with a great sense of humor. He loved casinos, going on cruises, traveling and always enjoyed entertaining. Being the first to move to North America as a teenager, he inspired his parents and siblings to join him and fulfill their dreams as well. Papa John was someone to admire and a joy to be with. God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best. He will be missed and in our hearts forever.
He left us with the echoes of a beautiful saying:
Be a part of the solution, not part of the problem…
