It is with heavy hearts that the family shares the passing of Sami, on Monday, August 15, 2022 at the William Osler Health Systems - Brampton Civic Hospital at the age of 72 years.

Survived by his beloved wife of almost 48 years, Josephine Maalouf.

Cherished father to Janice and her husband Luis Aguilera Jr., Joanne and her husband Junior Hann and to his son, Jason.

Devoted grandfather to Cameron, Breanna and Avery Hann.

Dear brother of Soumaya and her husband Elias, Tony and his wife Rita, Hala and her husband Nabil, Nouha and her husband Charlie and Naji and his wife Eileen.

Predeceased by his beloved sister Nabila and her husband Sebou.

Also survived by many nieces and nephews whom he loved dearly and his lifelong childhood friend, Mounir Zaccak, whom he loved like a brother.

Sami worked hard all his life, at one point holding 3 jobs during the recession of the 90s to make sure his family never wanted or needed for anything. He was happiest when he was surrounded by his loving family and always looked forward to Sunday dinners at his home. His family was his entire world.

He was a proud and dedicated grandfather teaming with his wife, Josephine, in helping to care for their grandchildren, at times even happily sacrificing his social life with family and friends. His grandchildren were always his first priority.
Sami arrived in Canada at the young age of 18 completing his post-secondary education and entering the workforce. Sami met his wife, Josephine, through the social club at their church.

He was incredibly smart...so intelligent and knowledgeable about almost anything. He was a nature, astronomy and history buff and would spend hours discussing, listening and debating topics with any willing participant usually over coffee and dessert.

His passing has left an incredible void in the hearts of those whose lives he touched. Sami will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by many family and friends in Canada and abroad.
