It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Manuel at the age of 94 on Monday, May 3, 2021. Predeceased by his loving wife Maria Leonor and sisters Pautilia and Benvinda, Manuel leaves behind sons Joe and Rui (Denise), grandchildren Paula, David, Jessica (Marcus), Tamara (Kyle), Kyle (Jocelyn), Matthew and Stephanie and six great-grandchildren. Loving brother to Ascensao and Joana (Artur), he also leaves behind many nieces and nephews. Manuel had a full life and up until recently lived happily and independently at his retirement home at St. Mary’s Residence where he looked after the building and grounds throughout many of his retirement years. His love for Canada began in the 50’s when he worked as a cook aboard fishing vessels that would come from Portugal to Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador. His passion for the culinary arts continued throughout his life and his delicious recipes will be missed by many.

Following cremation there will be a private service at St. Mary’s Church in Brampton on Monday, May 10th, at 10 am.

Respecting the current situation and pandemic restrictions, the funeral service will be private.
