Obituary for Joseph Cutajar
CUTAJAR, Joseph -
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Joseph Cutajar on Saturday, April 11, 2020 at 4:24am. He passed away peacefully at 88 years old, surrounded by his loved ones.
Joseph Cutajar was born on February 3, 1932 in Birżebbuġa, Malta and moved to Canada when he was 18 years old. He first landed in British Columbia and worked on the Vancouver Railroad before going back to Malta to marry his love, Filippa (Pina) Polidano, on February 14, 1954. They moved to Toronto where he started his career in welding and together they raised their two children, Peter and Mary. Joseph had a passion for fishing and hunting, and was almost always found in his garden or feeding his birds.
Joseph was an incredibly proud and dedicated husband, father and Nannu. He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Pina; two children, Peter and Mary (Angelo Tomassi); grandchildren, Roberto (Lisa), Paolo, and Marisa; and great-grandchildren, Alessandro and Luca. He is also missed by his brothers and sister, extended family and friends.
There will be a private service held for the immediate family in honor of Joseph. The family will arrange for a public mass in the future to celebrate his life.
Please consider submitting a donation to Dorothy Ley Hospice or to the Princess Margaret Foundation in his memory. Online condolences at newediukfuneralhome.com
