He was the loving husband of Kathleen (nee Brown), the devoted father of Vivian (Jay), Kathy, Jamie (Karen) and Donna (Ken) and adoring grand- father to Kevin, Steven, Matthew, Nicole, Justine, Reed, Rae, Lena and Lane. He was a devoted son to his wonderful late mother, Elena Nichilo Malizia, and a good brother to Paul, Albert, Annie (deceased), Nicky (deceased), Lally (deceased), Joe and Eleanor.

Oh Dad, we just lost Mom! But, you know that, because you and Jamie were there to meet her, weren't you? She must be so happy to see you and her dear Jamie. Tell her to visit us in our dreams and thoughts, like you do.

Dad, I think about you dozens of times each day. I remember when you told me that you so looked up to Uncle Jimmy that you used to think during meetings or other times, "What would Jimmy do?" to guide your actions. I do that but I ask, "What would Vince do?"
Just as I am writing this, your photo popped up on my screen saver... how nice if you could really hear us. Please use your influence to make things easier for Matt, Nicole and Justine, who just lost their Bompy a few days ago.

At some point in our lives, we realized how much fun you interjected into our childhoods. You made life joyous as we learned from you each day. As Tom told me about Nick, and Matt told me about Jamie, you made us feel safe every day of our lives. You gave us the capability to feel safe on our own, but it would be so much fun if you were still here to help us. Keep talking to us, Dad.

Dad, it's been over a year since you passed away. I miss you every hour of every day. I took a picture of you to Italy with me and looked at that picture every day. We continue to carry forward in the manner you would have wanted: at the cottage, with Mom, and with the rest of the family. I find myself using your colourful sayings and nonsense Italian words. We can only hope that we become more like you as time goes on. You sometimes come to me in my dreams, so please don't stop. Continue to send me and us little messages... we hear them. You were a best friend to each of us adn we miss you to eternity and back.

Our sincere sympathies to Kay and the entire Malizia family. Vince was a wonderful neighbour and friend. He always had a cheery hello or a kind word for everyone. He will be sorely missed.

I would like to express my profound condoleances to Mr. Malizia family.
I have had the pleasure to work with Mr. Malizia for a number of years. He has been not only a very kind person, but also very attentive to all his clients. He went over and behond the call of duties for his clients. He always showed a very genuine empathy for everyone he met.
I will keep very good memories of working with him and will remember his constant smile.
