JOSE PERREIRA FRIAS It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Jose Perreira de Frias, aged 56 years, on Sunday, October 6, 2002 at the Portuguese Institute of Oncology in Coimbra, Portugal. Jose passed away courageously with his family by his side in a struggle to overcome a battle with cancer. He will be remembered and forever loved in the hearts of his wife Ermelinda, daughter Ana Cristina, and in memory of his son Carlos. Jose was born in Casais de Abadia, Ourem in Portugal on November 2, 1945. He started his journey in Canada on January 29, 1973 alongside his wife Ermelinda and shortly after was accompanied by his two children, Carlos and Ana Cristina. Jose worked for the Boilermakers as a welder for many years. He greatly enjoyed travelling, working on cars, playing his accordion, and most importantly, he loved getting together with family and close friends and engaging in big gatherings. He used to say that having these gatherings brought much happiness to him, more than anybody could or would ever know. Jose was well known and will always be remembered for his dedication to hardwork and his love for his wife, children and family. His kind and sweet heart was always prepared to lend out a helping hand to family and friends. He will also be remembered for his great sense of humour that always seemed to put a smile on the faces of those around him. Jose will be remembered by his entire family, all his 11 brothers and sisters, his brother and sisters-in-law, his nieces and nephews, and the rest of his family, as well as all his friends and coworkers. A mass will be held in honor of Jose on Saturday, October 12 at 5:00 p.m at the Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church, 181 Austin Street. His wife and daughter would like to express their thanks and sincere gratitude to all the family and friends that stood by Joses side in prayer and support during his battle with cancer. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Joses memory to CancerCare Manitoba, 100 Olivia Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3E 9Z9. Our love for you is so much greater Than mere words can ever express.
