I wanted to take time on behalf of Mother and I to extend our sincere appreciation for the kind words you have shared with everyone about your fond memories of my Father. As you all know my Mother and I layed my Dad to rest today. It was an extremely emotional day for us and we simply cannot believe my Father is no loner with us. He loved life and wanted to live forever. He was such a healthy, proud and vibrant man so his passing came as a shock to all of us. Throughout his early years as a young man in Canada he sacrificed and worked long tireless hours to provide for his family. My Mother and Father had a long and happy life together. For 59 years they loved each other through tough times and through there enjoyable retirement together. They traveled the world for both business and pleasure. My Dad was extremely proud to be from Malta and although he had lived in Canada and then the United States he never forgot his birthplace or his family in Malta and around the world. However, he was also proud to be an American. My father's decision to come to California was a defining moment in his life. He was able to reach his goals, ambitions and dreams to always provide for himself and his family. 

My Daughter Lauren who attends College on the East Coast traveled back home to be with her grandfather who she loved so much. She was in California for less than 24 hours but it was important for her to be here and to be by her grandmother's side during this difficult time. She was his first grandchild and she loved her Grandfather so much. My Dad's eyes would light up every time he would see Lauren. She was his princess and he loved her more then words could ever express. He loved both his grandchildren and as a result it allowed him the opportunity to spoil them constantly. My son Bryan who is now 12 along with Aunty Mary's grandson, Alex, also 12 brought the gifts up during the Mass today. They were very brave boys and did a wonderful job. It was a beautiful ceremony befitting my Father. My Dad was simply the most remarkable man I had ever met and to be his son has been an honor. He helped shape me into the person I am today. Along with my wife Caroline and I, we are dedicated and devoted to take care of my loving Mother, as she must begin her life without the man she has known and loved since she was 18. Again, thank you for your prayers and your thoughts. It has truly made this difficult time comforting to know that so many people around the world cared, loved and admired the man I have always know as "Dad". 

God Bless

Dear Uncle Joe,  even though I had only met you once I know from my sister Bernie who lives near you the care and support you have given to her over the years she has lived there.  
Auntie Joan please know our prayers are with you at this time.

It has been an honour to know you and to have you in our lives.  Uncle Joe from "across the pond" who was always smiling and cheerful.  You will be very sadly missed.

My thoughts are with Aunty Joan and Robert and his family at this very sad time.

Uncle Joe,
This is what we will remember,
Your bravery and your love
That caring wise and watchful eye
Which now peers at us from above.

Aunty Joan,
Extending deepest sympathy for you and your family in your loss.
And hoping, too, that comfort and peace may come to you.

Dear Uncle Joe, this is a big shock to me, but I know that you are in good hand now with the Lord.I will never forget the good memories of you and your kind heart. Whenever I needed your help, you were always there to help..Just like recently I had asked you for some pictures for my mom, and you sent me a whole album!! you're just the best.. May God bless you and your family.

Dear Uncle Joe.  I am very sorry for your loss. I do not know you that much but I heard a lot about you from my dad and your brother Godfrey and my mum Cetty.  They told me you were a very smart and intelligent person.  You looked after your brothers and sisters when they were young and that was the greatest gift of all.  I saw you last at Aunty Vicky's home in Malta and you told me that I have a lovely daughter.  I will always remember your lovely words and smile.  Many condolences to your family at this very sad time.  Christine Mallia, Chris, Tamara and Shannen from Malta

Dear Uncle Joe, 

I am so grateful to have had you in my life and my families life.   It was you and Aunt Joan who encouraged me to come back to the United States after my first visit and that is when I met my husband, Rick. You and Aunt Joan were there for me when I first moved to the States.  You were my only family here and I appreciated all you did for me when I had my first baby.  I am so glad I was able to spend some time with you a couple of weeks ago.  I love you so much and will miss you dearly.  Our deepest condolences to Aunt Joan, we love and are there for you when ever you need us.

Your Niece Bernie and Family, Rick, Michael, Chad and Emily Stark

Dearest Uncle Joe - I am grateful I had one last opportunity to visit with you and Auntie Joan on Wednesday evening.  We shared some fun memories, chats about the kids and your first granddaugher Lauren and my first Holly attending College.  We shared pictures and laughs and some good chats that evening.

I cannot believe your life on earth has now concluded.  

I am proud to be your nephew and remember all the times we came over for BBQ's and when my brother Vince and I were young, over to your home for for a visit and Aunty always served us cake and Ice Cream while you and my parents chatted up. 

You will be missed very very much.  

Give my dad a big hug while you're on your next adventure.

Love Always -  Ray Borg and Family

Dear Grandpa,

I love you more than anything. A Grandfather is like another father. I learned many things from you like cooking, cleaning, doing the right thing, and being a gentleman. We have countless memories together and I won't forget one of them. I always enjoyed seeing the pictures you and Grandma on cruises and was always eager to hear the story about the people you met and encountered on the cruise. While seeing the pictures I always wondered how you made them so perfect and steady. Beats me but all I know is you are the best photographer I know. And never will I forget the utterly delicious Maltese sandwiches you made, the salads that would be on the side was just mouth watering. Grandpa you will be dearly missed by many others and me. You will always be loved and never forgotten. You are the coolest and most interesting person I know and those are one of the many qualities that make you who you are.

Love you always,

Your Grandson 

Bryan Spiteri

Grandpa, 

I feel so upset that I could not be there with you when you passed. I am so very glad I got the chance to speak to you one last time on Wednesday and that I will be flying home in a matter of days to celebrate your life with the rest of the family. You were a true pioneer in your quest for a better life for yourself and for your family and I am so honored to be a Spiteri. You were thoughtful and wise and I'll never forget coming to your house every Wednesday while I was in grade school at Saint John Vianney for a Maltese sandwich and some granfatherly love. I have no one to tell me not to "fall in" anymore, but I'll never forget all the times you said it. 

You lived a fulfilled life and your presence in the lives of your friends and family will never be forgotten, but truly cherished and missed. 

I love you, Grandpa.

Dear brother Joe i would like to thank you for all you did for us when we were children we sure are going to miss you very much and we will never forget you dear brother from your brother Godfry  and Cetty and family
