Obituary

Beloved husband of Maria Luisa for 57 years. Loving dad of Ana (Sergio), Luisa (Joe), and Joe. Proud vovó to grandchildren Amanda (Joey), Jessica (Evan), Jessica (Gursahib), Rebecca (Cosimo), and great grandchildren Joseph, Ava, Ariana, Ariya, Aaliyah, and Domenico. He will be fondly remembered for his love of the water, whether it be going for a swim, out fishing on the boat or a day trip with the family on Lake Simcoe. He also enjoyed tending to his lawn and backyard garden, often sharing the vegetables with family and neighbours. He was always willing to lend a hand, helping friends and family with home projects or just making sure neighbours had a clean walkway when it snowed. He will be dearly missed by his family and friends. José was fondly loved in his community.

What a beautiful Obituary. This is how I will remember my Vizinho, taking care of his lawn, always saying hello and ready for a chat. I saw him many times clearing neighbors driveway of snow. We will have fond memories about Senhor José, he will be missed in our neighborhood. Rest in peace meu amigo. To Luisa and family, we are keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers. Wishing you strength and comfort during this difficult time. Our warmest condolences to you all.
