It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of José Robalo Barata.
José passed away surrounded by his loving family on April 24, 2023 at Burnaby
General Hospital. He was born on August 15, 1933, in Casegas, Portugal to
Luis Nunes Barata and Albertina Dias Robalo. In 1964 José left Portugal
with his wife Maria and 1 year old son Luis for Vancouver. He worked as a successful
welder until his retirement. As a welder José was sought after because
of his particular attention to detail, often being dispatched to Fort McMurray
to work on giant haul trucks used in the oil sands. He enjoyed camping, fishing,
hunting and the trips made with family and friends.
José is survived by his wife Maria and sons, Luis and Robert.
Prayers and Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated 10:00am
Thursday May 04, 2023 at Our Lady of Fatima Parish, 1423 E 13th Ave, Vancouver.
