It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Andrew Magri, which occurred on January 24, 2025, at the age of 79. Andrew was a devoted husband to Emily Magri (nee Haydar), loving father to Leslie Magri and husband Kevin Wise, Sharon Di Pietro and husband Frank, and Christopher Magri and wife Natasha Timla. He was an adoring grandpa to Sebastian, Lucas and Ava.
Born in Luqa, Malta, Andrew came to Canada in 1964 looking for a new opportunity. He met his wife, Emily in 1970. After four years of dating, they married in 1974 and celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on June 22, 2024.
Andrew had many passions including spending quality time at his cottage, bringing back to life old electronics and motors and wood working. He cherished his facetime chats with his family and friends from around the world and especially in Malta and Australia.
Andrew was a gentle, giving man who worked tirelessly to ensure that his family had everything they needed. He always led by example and showed us the importance of honesty and compassion. He was always ready and willing to lend a helping hand, even after being diagnosed with Terminal Cancer, he was ready to help anyone who asked. His absence will leave a void in ours and many hearts.
