Joao Manuel was born on March 31, 1949 in Sao Miguel, Acores, he immigrated to Canada with his parents on his 18th birthday; the love of his life soon followed and they started their family. Dad was the most devoted husband, father & grandfather. Everything he did was for his precious wife and children. He was an amazing grandpa and had a special bond with each of his grandchildren they are his greatest joy.
In his 34 years at Versatile Farm Equipment then Buhler Versatile he made many lasting friendships with all those he worked with. Joao had many friends and he was always there with a helping hand and a kind word.
Thank you to Dr. Kasper, Dr. Jacob, the nurses and other members of the medical team at HSC GA4for the care they provided.
Dad, though are hearts are broken and a void left for always, we know that you are now at peace in the arms of our creator. We had plans but Gods plans were greater. We will love you forever and miss you always, until we meet again.
