Mr. Antonio Peixoto

Obituary

Antonio was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend. Antonio passed away suddenly on Thursday November the 21st at the age of 81 at Baycrest Hospital in Toronto. His heart accepted him into Heaven.

Antonio was born on February the 14th, 1943 to parents Mariano DaCosta Peixoto and Maria Dos Aujos Madeiros Peixoto in Vila Franco Du Campo, Açores along with his two sisters Grace and Emelia.

He is survived by his four children; Raymond Peixoto (Teresita Derramas), Anabella Peixoto (Jimmy Costa); Nelson Peixoto (Martha Peixoto) and Diana Reedie (Matt Interbartolo) and eight grandchildren; Melissa, Jennifer, Justin, Alex, Callum, Aidan, Mason and Mateo.

Antonio was married in 1967 in Portugal to his wife Venilde. They moved to Toronto, Canada in 1972, with their two children at the time Ray and Anna. Antonio retired and worked hard making windows and doors for many years at Mason Windows. Antonio woke up early every morning, walked to the bus stop, and took the subway 26 stops only to be picked up by another bus to take him to Pickering to start work. Many times, he would take on odd jobs and evening jobs to support his family. He lived to support his family.

He loved spending time with his grandchildren and watching them grow. In his younger years, he was always eager to help family with renovations and construction. He loved having company over and at parties was always smiling and laughing with a glass of wine in his hand. We will all miss that smile.

Antonio went into retirement and side effects from his prostate cancer worsened his ability to be mobile. Antonio was a stubborn man, but a passionate hardworking man who wanted what was best for those around him, always trying to do more than he could. He would always say “its ok..” He just wanted everyone to be happy. A great quality he passed down to all his children.

To a caring husband, Dad, Brother, Tio, Padrinho, “VooVoo”, and friend; You will always be in our hearts. May you rest in peace with God and Mom.
