I will never forget you.
Love always, your daughter Liz,

My dearest condolences to my Mallia family, I remember as a young girl seeing you at the Sunday market and coming to your home with my uncle Mick and Aunty June. Thoughts and prayers with you all at this very sad time

Joe you were a great man. A man with a heart of gold and enjoyed helping others. All we have now are great memories of when your family and our family used to go fishing, camping or even those great times when you would bring your family over to our house for a visit. Great memories to treasure. Now I know that you will meet my dad and talk about those memories, Rest in peace uncle Joe and look down on your loving family. Please give dad a hug for me and tell him I miss him. Love and miss you always from Gozo, Malta

Nannu,
As you would always say “dont worry be happy”, this is what i remember when i think of you. You had a great motto to life and were the most kindest man i know. You told me you were worried about Nanna, i just want to let you know that she will be okay, you have created the most wonderful family to take care of her. I will love you always and will never forget.

Drive safe up there.

Love
Tabb, Bert, Nick, Henley and your little Lenny Jospeh who always put a smile on your face.

Dad you always said to me where do people find the words to talk so much. I’m hearing ya and I’ll miss ya

Nannu 🤍

It’s hard knowing I’m never going to see your beautiful smile and kind eyes again.
It’s heartbreaking that I didn’t get to say goodbye and that I never will. I remember all the fun and laughter we shared together; playing cards, collecting prickly pears, you chattering you’re teeth and always being cheeky and calling me ‘medicine’.

You had a kindness that radiated through everyone that had the pleasure of meeting you. You were soft but strong. You were loving and caring and made everybody happy. You are the kind of person I aspire to be like.

“A heart of gold stopped beating,
two willing hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, he only takes the best.”

I’m at peace knowing you are no longer suffering and reunited with your family in heaven 💕 I love you and miss you forever.

Sending sincere condolences to all his family on behalf of my 7 siblings (children of Michael Camilleri) from Mosta, Malta. I am sure he is now re-united with the Tewwej Family up above. May you RIP dear cousin Joe.

To The Mallia Family.

I had the pleasure of knowing Joe for many years. My first memory of meeting him was at Pet Shop at Plaza Arcade. He was the most quiet and lovely man.

My sincere condolences to you all. Thinking of you at this difficult time.

Rest In Peace Joe.

Joe you were and always will be remembered as a sweet soul like Dad. You reminded me of him, it was uncanny how much you and Dad were alike. I have many good memories of when our two families got together, how many kids were running around the front yard. Rest In Peace now Joe and give Dad a big hug for me when you see him.
Love Dorothy, Peter, Jayden, Luke and Jaime xx

Uncle Joe
I remember as a child the family visits to your house, the great times we all had. You were a lovely man just like my dad. Please say hi to dad and give him a hug for me.
Rest In Peace.
Katherine, Bob, Daniel and Nicole

Nannu,
This is a very hard thing to write and I still can’t believe this happened.
Nannu, you were so strong. I’m proud at how hard you fought.
You’re the kindest, most beautiful man I have ever met.
I remember all the fun times I had as a kid; when you would chatter your fake teeth, pretend to eat my ears, steal my nose. I remembered when you would say “how are ya he (ħelu)” I thought you thought I was a boy, turns out it means sweet in Maltese 😂
I remember having so many great conversations with you, you’d always get so into it you’d begin to talk in Maltese and then end in English. I‘d just laugh and pretend I knew exactly what you were talking about because I was too nervous to say otherwise. Some things you’d say in Maltese I had a little idea with what you were saying, especially when you and Nanna were bickering haha.
I wish I was there for your last breath. I would’ve played some Spice Girls and Marilyn Monroe songs, I heard you loved them 🥰
The most hardest thing about this is that I couldn’t properly say goodbye. At least I’d remember you as the healthy young fella you always have been 💕
God really does give his best soldiers the most difficult battles.
I love you Nannu, always and forever 💗

Nunnu,

It warms my heart to read all the kind words that have been left for you. Your life has had an incredible impact on so many. You have created an amazing family and many beautiful memories of laughter that will be cherished by us all.

My earliest and happiest childhood days all include you. And now becoming a mum myself makes me realise how important the influence of people are on a young life, so I feel even more blessed to have had such an amazing man help guide my journey. From collecting eggs, to fishing, feeding the cows, playing cards, teaching me Maltese and all the things in between – I will always remember you with a smile.

I know you have only ever wanted the best for Nanna and your family so please rest in peace knowing we will all be here for each other. All my love, Kelly

Today we are broken hearthed, we are missing our best friend, he left us with so many happy and friendly memories.
We miss your wistling Joe,.
Till we meet again, may you rest in the peace of the lord..

Dear Uncle Joe,
There are no words to truly describe the type of man you were. The Mallia men of your generation leave big shoes to fill, ones that just cannot be filled. Like my father, your brother, you had such a beautiful kind-hearted soul. Quietly spoken, you had nothing to prove. Everybody who ever met you just knew what a great man you were. Rest in eternal peace alongside my dad who I’m sure met you on your way.
All of my love, Veronica xx

So sorry to hear another good gentleman gone such a loving and caring person all our condolences go out to the Mallia families Allan Tammy Clint Justin Leisle

My Dearest Cousin Joe
A gentle soul is at peace. You will be sadly missed. Another star in the Sky to shine down brightly on us all
Safe travels Joe
Love Helen, Kevin, Wayne

Dear Zija Doris and cousins,

Always thought your dad had the greatest smile and laugh. I remember the time our doorbell rang and we opened to the door to find him standing there. He was so tickled that he pulled off such an epic surprise. Thank you for the service live stream. It was a lovely tribute. Rest in Peace, Ziju Joe

P.S. I haven’t told mom yet. She was quite upset to hear he was in a home. Will tell her eventually.
