Arthur, fondly known as Art, was born into a large and loving family, to parents Arthur and Rita Griscti, on May 1st, 1943 in Sliema, Malta. Moving from Malta to England, and eventually settling in Canada.

A go getter from the beginning, he started his own business at a young age and with an unmatched work ethic and passion for making things happen, this allowed him and his family to travel extensively. Aside from his love of travel, classic cars, classic music, and Christmas!, he loved nothing more than spending quality time with his family and friends.

Arthur is survived by his wife of 60 years, Violet (Nee Cosgrove), and three daughters Kelly, Sharon and Andrea. He is also survived by son in-law Paul, five grandchildren, Kira, Taylor, Jordano, Zachary and Colton, and two great grandchildren Kane and London. Additionally, his brother George (and wife Josette), sister Margaret, and many nephews, nieces and extended family members.

The family would like to thank the palliative care staff at Brampton Civic Hospital for their kindness and gentle care.

In lieu of flowers, a donation in his name would be appreciated. Charity suggestions: Sick Kids Foundation, Women’s Habitat, or a charity of your choice.
