It is with broken hearts we announce the passing of our beloved husband and father Jose, age 63, who passed away peacefully in his home on Saturday, April 3rd, 2021 after a long 18-month battle with cancer. Jose was a loving and devoted husband to Filomena, 41 years, cherished father of Andrew and Melissa, adored father-in-law of Erik and wonderful grandfather of Sam and Jason. Pre-deceased by his parents, Antonio and Maria and the youngest of 13. Jose will be remembered for his sense of humour and eagerness to offer a helping hand to his family and friends. He will be so missed. The family wishes to express their deep appreciation to the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation, the LHIN, and the angels of Bayshore.

Farewell My Friends

Farewell My Friends
It was beautiful
As long as it lasted
The journey of my life.
I have no regrets
Whatsoever said
The pain I’ll leave behind.
Those dear hearts
Who love and care...
And the strings pulling
At the heart and soul...
The strong arms
That held me up
When my own strength
Let me down.
At the turning of my life
I came across
Good friends,
Friends who stood by me
Even when time raced me by.
Farewell, farewell My friends
I smile and
Bid you goodbye.
No, shed no tears

For I need them not
All I need is your smile.
If you feel sad
Do think of me
For that’s what I’ll like
When you live in the hearts
Of those you love
Remember then
You never die.
