A Quick Message from JP/Pizza Galley

As I was about to exit Horny Toad for the beach a while ago I saw a familiar face approaching me. It was JP from Pizza Galley and he is here on vacation. He is staying at a friend's apartment just 3 properties down the beach. We chatted for about 20 minutes about the state of the island, his life and if he had any future plans to come back. He will be 71 next week and has had offers and backers step forward. He said at 71 and after losing everything here 3 times, he just was not going to do it again. His wife had some health problems that are now resolved and he said he still enjoys visiting SXM and his daughter is still here, but he is ready for retirement.

He said to tell anyone that asked about him, thank you and he "misses his customers as much as they miss him"

It was nice to see him and chat with him.

Back to the beach!

Don't blame him a bit for not wanting to get back in the game, at this point in his life. Retirement can be a good thing, for sure..

Good for him on retiring! Bad for us, always loved Pizza Galley....enjoy your day!

We never missed a visit too Pizza Galley when we were on island. Hope JP and his wife enjoy retirement.

His good friend Rodger from Last Mango in Paradise thought about buying Pizza galley... Rodger past away after Hurricane Irma and I think at his age he should enjoy everyday.

We also enjoyed our visits pre-Irma to Pizza Galley and our chats with JP and his wife. We will definitely miss them, their pizza and other dishes when on the island in future. However, we can relate to their reasons for reverting to just being "visitors" and we wish them all the best in their well-deserved retirement.

It's where the Simpson Bay bridge is , right and now Nowhere Special has opened.

I saw him on the road and contacted him online. Glad to see him enjoying the weather in SXM and relaxing here!
