elevated MMGWB An unstoppable work force that enjoyed so much: the outdoors, gardening (plants, trees, grape vines), fishing (way back in time), and going to their trailer camp, going to the movies (anything Indiana Jones and James Bond), watching Dancas de Carnaval, watching tourada à corda e à praça, watching soccer, playing games (cards, dominos, checkers, tic-tac-toe, hangman), food; all of his wife’s traditional Portuguese cooking, The Mandarin, Harvey’s burgers, veal / steak paninis (San Francescos, Californias and That Italian Place), Portuguese chicken (Kensington Market (again, way back in time), Mario’s, Farol), pizza, matanças do porco e de vaca, desserts; his wife’s massa sovada, arroz doce and papas, queijadas (de nata, coco, leite, feijão, cerveja), pão com açúcar, bolachas com cafe drinking milk, coffee, beer and wine.
elevated MMGWB Most of all he was a dedicated family man, who loved life and the people that surrounded him. He will be truly missed and always loved and remembered by his loving wife Carolina, grandsons Lucas & Cole, daughter-in-law Lisa and son Emanuel. Funny note: he was very ticklish.
