He also leaves to mourn, sisters Evelina (Jose) Machado and Gloria (Jose) Camara and many nieces, nephews, sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law in Winnipeg, Montreal and Toronto. Alfredo was born in Acores, Portugal and immigrated to Canada in 1974 and lived in St. Jean-Sur-Richelieu, Quebec for eleven years. He then came to Winnipeg in 1984 and worked at Borland for 27 years. He enjoyed watching and playing soccer, gardening, hockey (especially when the Montreal Canadiens were playing), fishing, dancing and spending summers going to Selkirk Provincial Park. But above all, what he cherished the most, was spending Sundays with his family.
