Survived also by his
sister Rosa (Armando) Ferreira and many relatives
in Canada, Portugal and
U.S.A. His love of people and willingness
to stop and talk gained
him numerous friendships over the years.
He had a strong spirit
but a very gentle and loving heart and was

his children and
grandchildren. He will be greatly missed by all who
were privileged to have
their path in life cross his. Prayers will be said
