<div itemprop="description"><br />Sylvester Gonsalves de Freitas passed away peacefully in his sleep on Sunday January 18, 2015 at Toronto East General Hospital. He had suffered a long battle consisting of many complications resulting from a stroke in February of 2009. He had spent the majority of the last five years in care at the Houses of Providence Long Term Care facility in Scarborough. <br /> <br />Sons, Jeff and Craig want to thank the staff at Houses of Providence for their care and attention over the past five years. <br /> <br />'Red', as he was known to family and many of his friends, wished to be cremated and returned to his 'home' - St. Vincent in the West Indies - to be laid to rest near his mother Inez DeSouza. As a result, there will be no internment as part of the Memorial Gathering. Jeff and Craig will be travelling to St. Vincent later in the year to carry out his wish. <br /> <br /> <br /></div>
