In loving memory of João Galvao Ferreira born on June 22, 1942, in Sao Miguel, Portugal. In his 84th year, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family at William Osler Hospital in Brampton, Ontario.
He was a beloved husband to Antonieta, a devoted father to Paulo (Lucy), Emanuel (Trish) and Steve (Kristen), as well as a proud grandfather (Vãvo) to Clarissa, Matthew and Jack. Nothing brought him greater joy than spending time with those he loved.
