Sadly, Joao passed away, on Friday, December 6th, 2024. He was one of eight siblings of Manuel and Rosa Sousa Alves. Joao was most proud of his two daughters, four grandchildren and four great grand children. Aside from his family being the captain of his beloved Santa Clara soccer club and their championships was one of his greatest achievements. He was a talented machinist and carpenter. Joao enjoyed fishing, fixing things and transforming ideas into wood working art. Joao will be lovingly remembered by all his family and friends. He will be forever in our hearts.

Many sincere thanks to all family, friends and caregivers from near and far. Dr. N. Pimlott and staff at Women’s College Hospital. All the kind and compassionate CBI PSW’s care. Friends at West Neighbourhood House and Casa Acores in Toronto.
