In Loving Memory of Carlos Bulhoes

It is with deep sorrow that we share the passing of Carlos Bulhoes, who departed peacefully at the age of 85 after a brief illness, surrounded by his beloved family. Carlos was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend—a truly selfless man whose love for his family knew no bounds. Generous to a fault, he was the kind of person who would give the shirt off his back to help others.

Born in Maia, São Miguel, Azores, Carlos immigrated to Canada in December 1969 with his cherished wife Maria and their two sons, seeking a better life for his family. His love story with Maria began in childhood, and their bond remained strong and unwavering throughout their lives. Carlos found joy in the simple pleasures—his wife's cooking, a glass of wine with every meal, and the warmth of family gatherings.

Carlos leaves behind his loving wife, Maria Lourdes; his sons, John, and Carlos Jr.; daughters-in-law, Linda, and Teresa; and his adored grandchildren, Matthew, Andrew, Nicole, Meghan, and Elisabete. He is also survived by his brother José and his wife Zenaide, his sister Maria Connie, and many dear sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nieces, and nephews.

Carlos will be remembered for his unwavering love, his generous spirit, and the legacy of kindness he leaves behind.

Em Memória de Carlos Bulhões

É com profunda tristeza que anunciamos o falecimento de Carlos Bulhões, que partiu serenamente aos 85 anos após uma breve doença, rodeado pelo carinho da sua família. Carlos foi um marido, pai, avô e amigo dedicado—um homem verdadeiramente altruísta, cujo amor pela família não tinha limites. Sempre generoso, era conhecido por estar pronto a ajudar quem precisasse, mesmo que isso significasse dar a camisa que trazia vestida.

Natural da Maia, na ilha de São Miguel, Açores, Carlos emigrou para o Canadá em dezembro de 1969 com a sua querida esposa Maria e os seus dois filhos, em busca de uma vida melhor para a sua família. A sua história de amor com Maria começou ainda em criança, e o laço entre ambos manteve-se forte e inquebrável ao longo da vida. Carlos encontrava alegria nas coisas simples—na comida da sua esposa, num copo de vinho a acompanhar cada refeição, e no convívio familiar.

Carlos deixa a sua amada esposa, Maria Lourdes; os seus filhos, John e Carlos Jr.; as noras, Linda e Teresa; e os seus queridos netos, Matthew, Andrew, Nicole, Meghan e Elisabete. Sobrevivem-lhe também o seu irmão José e a esposa Zenaide, a sua irmã Maria Connie, assim como muitos cunhados, cunhadas, sobrinhos e sobrinhas.

Carlos será sempre lembrado pelo seu amor incondicional, pelo seu espírito generoso e pela marca de bondade que deixou em todos os que o conheceram.
