LEBANON - Joseph Vincent Zammit, 94, Lebanon, Maine, died peacefully on December 3, 2015, with his family by his side in Clearwater Fla.
Joe was born on March 12, 1921, in St. Julian's on the Island of Malta in Europe to Giuseppe & Maria Zammit. In 1940, he left the Island he loved and sailed to New York City to visit his brother. After seeing news reels of Valletta, Malta being bombed, he decided to apply for citizenship in the US and joined the United States Army.
He was a proud veteran of WWII, and when he was stationed in Germany, he met Kate Scheurich. They were married and eventually settled in Dover, N.H., where they raised four children. Sadly, Kate passed away in 1978. After her passing, Joe traveled extensively over the following 20 years returning to Malta many times. It was on a trip to Italy where he met his current wife Ruth Colburn. They were married in June of 1998 and live in Lebanon, Maine, and wintered in Clearwater, Fla.
Joe was especially proud of his Maltese heritage and was a master craftsman and artisan creating many metal sculptures and stone walls; finishing two stone walls this past summer. He loved to dance, spend time with his family and he really loved to cook.
Joe is survived by his wife Ruth Zammit: daughters: Kathi White and husband Steve; Barbara McGivern and husband Joe: son Joe Zammit and wife Shannon, all reside in Dover, N.H.: son-in-law Wayne Elliot of Portsmouth and many grandchildren, great grandchildren, step children & step grandchildren.
