It is with sadness and regret that we announce the passing of our dear husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Francisco Rodrigues Pereira, on December 15, 2021, from complications of COPD. Loving husband of Maria (nee Diniz) for 59 years, devoted father to Maria (Chris), Frank (Anna), doting grandfather to Kristina (Kevin), Jessica (Andrew), Veronica, Jonathan, Mathew (Nicole), Christina and great-granddaughters Olivia and Charlie. Predeceased by his brother Jose (Oldemira), he leaves behind his sister Rosa and many nieces, nephews and friends throughout Canada, the United States and in his cherished hometown of Vila Nova, Terceira. Francisco will be greatly missed and forever in our hearts. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Michael Garron Hospital Foundation would be greatly appreciated.
