short of his 90th birthday.

established his landed status, his late wife Irene De Braga and two children Joe and Celeste came to build
a new life in Canada.

Deolinda DeBraga, Laurinda DeBraga, Helena Cardosa and Cisaltina DeBraga. Jose is pre-deceased by his
brother Antonia DeBraga and sisters Maria Jose DeBraga and Rosa Moreira.
Jose was the proud father of daughter Celeste Braga Miles (Mike) and Joe DeBraga (Elizabeth) and
grandfather to Mark Soares, Brian Soares, Adam Miles, Martin Debraga, Justin DeBraga and Mitchell
DeBraga. And super proud great grandfather to his namesake Joseph Franco DeBraga.
Jose enjoyed spending time at his trailer, playing dominoes and spending time with his family.
