elevated u2jA6 Obituary
elevated u2jA6 Dear Dad,
elevated u2jA6 What can I say… you were the life of the party. You would work the room, make sure you talked to everyone and make everyone smile or laugh. You were the one getting up to dance to Elvis with your signature moves and we couldn’t resist joining you and have a good time.
elevated u2jA6 The charisma you had was infectious, you had a face that everyone gravitated to and you enchanted everyone you met. Every time I saw you, you were introducing me to a new person. You would make friends wherever you would go, and talk to anyone.
elevated u2jA6 Everyone loved you, all I would hear is “you know your dad is a great man”, “your dad is a funny guy”, “your dad is a kind and generous man”, “I love talking to your dad, he always makes me laugh”, the compliments were endless and I loved hearing them because I would think “yeah, that’s my dad … my hero.”
elevated u2jA6 We were the lucky ones to have you in our lives. You meant so much to so many of us and each of us knew you differently as a; son, husband, father, father-in-law, nannu, brother, brother-in-law, uncle, cousin, godfather and friend.
elevated u2jA6 We will miss your laugh, how you teased us, joked around with us, you really knew how to cheer up anyone. You always lent your ear to someone who needed it, and you always had wisdom to impart, we learned so much from you. The knowledge and wisdom you had to give was always welcome.
elevated u2jA6 However, your wife, children, son-in-law and grandchildren were the lucky ones. We were the closest to you and got to see up close how great a man you were. We always knew you loved us and you made sure to tell us, giving us hugs and kisses. All we felt from you was your deep love for us in every gesture and word. You were our rock and we were the lucky ones to have you in our life for so long.
elevated u2jA6 Dad this is for you because you always sang this to us;
elevated u2jA6 Love me tender, love me sweet
Never let me go
You have made my life complete
And I love you so
Love me tender, love me true
All my dreams fulfill
For my darling, I love you
And I always will
elevated u2jA6 You will be greatly missed… we love you daddy, nannu and sabiħ.

My condolences to you, Paul, and to your family and his friends. He leaves behind a legacy in his children and grandchildren. 💕
Dear Cataldo Gauchi we miss you big time rest in peace
Uncle you will definitely be missed. Every time I saw you, you were smiling or laughing, and you were always so kind. Your laugh is almost as iconic as your
amazing side burns, and we are going to miss you. Rest well Uncle. 💜
Love Sandra and Juggi
We are very sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace. From Ninu Fenech and Anna Guiga. Malta
Elizabeth, Paul, Raymond & family. I’m sorry for your loss. I still remember the wonderful stories about your parents and family that Liz told me when we worked together. I also won’t forget how welcoming your dad was at Liz & Ray’s wedding. He spent time talking to everyone at our table and made us feel like family.
Joe and I send our condolences to all the family. We cherish the memories of his infectious smile. Our thoughts are with you all at this sad and difficult time. As you rightfully said Paul, he is pain free and flying high with the Master. May he rest in peace.
It is the amazing memories that are comforting at times like this. I’m sure your family has many, because he lived a long and happy life. I’m sure he’s in heaven right now having a meal with my Dad and all the other family members who have left and he is patiently waiting for the day when he can see all of you again.
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
My deepest condolences to you and your family. May he rest in peace, and may his memories bring you great joy in the future.
Dear Elizabeth and family, you’re in my thoughts and prayers as you navigate this difficult time of loss in your lives. He leaves behind a big void, but know that, even though he no longer is physically with you, he will always be by your side. May you find comfort in remembering the happy times. My deepest condolences. Sending you a big hug because I can’t give you a real one.
