Obituary

 
We are devastated by the passing of Florentino Pires, on September 8, 2022, at the age of 81.
 
He will be forever missed by his loving wife Felismina.  Cherished by his daughters Ana Paula and Celia and their respective partners Saverio (Sal) and Lily. Proud grandfather to Julia, Andrew and Daniel.
 
Florentino was a gentle and kind soul with a smile that could brighten any room. He had a big heart, loved to help others and was happiest cooking for his family and friends. His 'feijoada', 'dobrada' and 'pudim flan' were favourites dishes at family gatherings. 
Florentino was an active member and dedicated volunteer at St Stephen’s Community House so donations in his name would kindly be appreciated.
He will continue to be held dear in the hearts of his family, relatives and friends.
May Florentino rest in God's peace forever.
     

In Loving Memory of Florentino, in lieu of flowers donations can be made to the St. Stephen's Community House
