I will always remember my uncle Poqqu with a smile on your face and a glint in your eye, ready with the next joke.
Jaelle BajadaI’ll miss your laugh the most.
Forever remembered and in our hearts.
I first met Chris at my first ever temp position at Rheem (as a fill in kitchen hand cleaning down tables). Every time I approached Chris's table there was always the distinct echo of laughter and jokes. (so much so that every time I approached his table, I was at risk of being the target) it was always in good spirit..
Sam RoufogalisCoincidently my wife and I, met Mark and Lyndall through other employment and we become to know Chris as Champion person who always had time for every one. One of the best and Original. They just don't make them like that any more.
Today I can still hear quite clearly the loud laughter and it makes me smile. We will miss you dearly, Sam, Suzi, Samantha & Harry

Always loved your dad at the get togethers we used to have at Glenmore Park when the kids were little. He would always have a funny story to tell and a suggestion for a quick way to make money. I'm sure he's busy entertaining everyone up in Heaven. May he rest in peace.
Michelina SchinellaAll our love Peter, Michelina, Nicolas and Gabriella.
We remember Chris as a caring and supportive father to Mark and grandfather to Zac, Ethan and Lucas who would always go out of the way to help. We loved his humour and always had a smile for our girls. We will miss Chris at family events, but know he will always be with us and is watching down from heaven, welcomed by Jesus. Our thoughts and prayers are with Carmen, Mark, Natalie and all the extended family.
David, Joanne, Emily & Eliza BrearleyOne memory that comes to my mind was when our family went to nepean river for a bbq and dad brought his rheem made bbq but forgot to bring the legs so he improvised with pvc pipes. Halfway through cooking the meat the pipes melted and the hot plate flippped 180 degrees and the meat ended up in the dirt. We laughed so much that day we ended eating kfc. You left us too soon. You will always be close to my heart. We will always love u forever.

June SultanaChris, you and Bernie's mateship dates back about half a century to the days you worked together (wow - a lot of water under the bridge for you both since then). Like Bernie, you've been taken from your loved ones and friends far too soon, however I pray those mourning your loss will take comfort in knowing they will be reunited (for eternity) with you in time, just as you and Bernie are catching up again now!
Karen BantonMy memories of you are your smiling eyes, really kind heart and infectious smile.
I offer my heartfelt thoughts and prayers for your darling Carmen and for Natalie, Mark, Zachary, Ethan, Lucas, Lyndall, Martin and your extended family.
He was always a funny & happy man at family gatherings. Sorry to hear of your loss. May god bless you & be with you all at this time of sadness. Our prayers & thought are with you all.
Sylvia Attard VellaWhen I think of Uncle Chris the first thing that comes to mind is his cheeky sense of humour. He was always cracking a joke and making everyone smile. You left too soon and will be missed by all of us xxx
Joanne DebonoUncle poqqu chris, matt and I will always remember how much fun we use to have when you came to nunna and nunno's. We use to love how much mischief you would get us in and how we knew we couldn't get in trouble because nunno pep or dad wouldn't argue with you.
Mario, Teresa, Rebecca, Matthew and Christopher SultanaTo Dad (mario) you were like his second Dad and he would always talk about how much of a great uncle you were and the things you would get up to. You played a big part in his life and he will miss you dearly.
Most of all the best memories we have is how you always greeted us by tickling our ears and then pretending to bite them, it was you trademark and when we think about it we always laugh.
Rest in peace Uncle Poqqu xx
Chris, I'll never forget how you used to welcome us with open arms and Nena too when we came over there You always took care of us and our friends, taking us here and there where we needed to go. We're going to miss you and miss talking to you nearly every night on Skype or Messenger. I was always asking Tona "See if Poqqu is on". and we used to chat, argue and laugh together for hours. Rest in Peace, my brother in law, my friend. You're always in my heart. Love You xxx
Joe BajadaI will always remember a happy man, who would always have a joke. Taken way too soon. RIP
Lisa RigoThe best memories of my father in law would have to be the day each of his 3 grandsons Zac, Ethan & Lucas were born. He was so proud of them, adored & loved them with all his heart.
Lyndall SultanaYou are a man made of a heart with gold.
Forever in our hearts. RIP my dear Father in law. I'm so proud you loved & treated me as your daughter. Xxx
I remember when he always let me drive his lawnmowers and try to bite my ears off !!
Ethan SultanaHello My Brother,
Antoinette BajadaYou left us so sudden and so broken hearted. You will always be on my mind and in my heart - I’ll talk to you always until the time we meet again. Rest In Peace my brother. I love you so much xxxx Tona
A few years ago a group of us were on holidays together in Malta. WE had been out all day in Malta and were heading back to catch the ferry to Gozo. Chris insisted he knew a short-cut and headed that way. The rest of us decided to stick to the main route. We caught the ferry and Chris was nowhere to be seen. As the ferry pulled away we saw Chris and Nena coming down the hill it was so funny. Later that evening we were sitting in a restaurant when they came in and they refused to sit with us. Do you remember Helen and Leli. WE loved you Chris may God look after you.
Keith & Pauline Fisher (United Kingdom)Mario is forever thankful for all he did for him to stay in Australia and for helping him buying his first home,paqqu will be remembered for his great sense of humor and the love for his family and friends. Fly high dear Chris forever in our hearts and prayers .xxxx
Rita AzzopardiWhen i was 10 or 12 Uncle Chris taught me how to ride a motorbike. He had the patience of a saint as i think i stalled it around a dozen times.
Matthew sultanaDear Dad,
Mark SultanaI keep waiting for you to walk around the corner and punch me in the arm or crack a joke or two like you used to but as every day passes it becomes more and more of a reality that you are no longer here with us. It's time now to adjust to life without you and although it will be tough I must find strength in Jesus, Mary and the saints. I promise I will try to be strong on Tuesday when we farewell you forever in body but your spirit will live forever in our hearts. I love you Dad more than you will ever know and I will never forget the last time we touched as we embraced in a hug. This is something I will cherish forever.
Lots of love your son Mark
