Condolences & Memories (38 entries)

• My deepest sympathy to you and your family Rebecca. Helder was a student in my Portuguese class. He was very friendly, with a big smile, and always very respectful. He was a pleasure to be with. Although I have since moved away and lost touch with him, I will always remember his smile and wit. Rest in Peace my friend! God Bless your Family - Posted by: Viriato Nogueira (Portuguese Teacher) on: Feb 17, 2014

• I met Helder when he worked at Signature Homes as an assistant on site Forman. I had the pleasure of meeting this gentleman. Shortly after meeting him....there was a car seat in the back of this little truck. He couldn't have been happier. His search for innovation involving construction would lead him to further search for knowledge in the building industry. I attended many courses and seminars with him .....he loved to learn. The building industry is at a great loss to lose this great MAN. Now off to see the great architect in the sky... - Posted by: Tod boss (Co worker sire Forman ) on: Feb 08, 2014

• Helder was one of those people who liked, who always welcomed you with his beautiful smile and good cheer. Years would go by when I wouldn't see him but when we'd meet up anywhere, his smile was always as sincere and heartfelt. He was a kind and thoughtful soul. I was lucky to have known him. My deepest sympathy to his family. - Posted by: Paula Calado (friend) on: Feb 07, 2014

• To your family, Helder, I was so sad to hear of his passing and the pain it must bring and I hope it is short and only the happiness and joy he brought to your lives are the memories that you look back on. He was a great Dj because he listened to the people. And that attribute made him an incredible man. He will be missed I am sure by all of us who worked with him at the Pal and I extend or love of him to you his family and wish you only the best memories of your time with him as we do!

• An old friend; a dear friend in the community. We grew up together, with so many others... I remember most, though, his dignity and grace when his mother passed away. He was so thoughtful and selfless, even in his grief; kind enough to think of me, as I extended my sympathy, to let me know that, "she really liked you..." I never forgot that gesture. It was probably my last quiet conversation with him, before our life paths diverged. My deepest sympathy to his father, wife, and children. - Posted by: Sally Correia (Friend) on: Feb 06, 2014

• Rebecca, We met briefly when we joined other ALS supporters for their annual sponsored walk in the park in 2012. By then Helder was in a wheelchair and he still participated in the event with his generous smile and enthusiasm along with your children and mother. My daughter Kaitlan informed me about Helder's passing today. I am so, so sorry. This year for the ALS walk I will be there and remembering Helder too.

• Dear Family Neto, we are so very sorry for your loss. We met Helder through Olympic Builders and kept in contact with him through emails here and there to hear how he was doing after he left. His true character and integrity was evident from the very start and after that first handshake he showed genuine care and concern for us and those around him. When we attended his fundraiser at the Palomino Club, we were humbled by the number of people whose lives he had touched, again reinforcing what a good man he was. Our deepest sympathies go out to you all. - Posted by: Cynthia & Rob Sigurdson (Sub-Contractor for Olympic Builders) on: Feb 06, 2014

• Helder, your smile warms my heart to this moment in time. You were one of those people who always made a day brighter. I don't remember what year we shared a locker, but in getting to know you, I can say there weren't too many people who were happier or more positive than you. Our shared love of all things Van Halen, Roth or Hagar will be with me always. The night we saw DLR at Winnipeg Arena, remains one of my favourite memories, my friend. We didn't see each other too much after high school. Know this... Our friendship lives on in me; I thank you for that! My condolences and thoughts to your family. I KNOW you were an amazing Papa!! Love you, man. You can borrow "The Pony" anytime! - Posted by: Greg Mackling (High School Friend/locker partner) on: Feb 05, 2014

• Sincerest condolences to all of Helder's family and friends. Most of the time I spent with Helder was while we were growing up together in the West End. He was a couple of years older than all the other boys in our pack. He was always so patient with us younger kids, and never hesitated to blaze a trail for the rest of us. He taught us all the things we needed to know about bikes, hockey, music, cars, and of course girls. All of us but Helder had sisters, and although he didn't have any siblings of his own, he was a big brother to all of us. It was an honor being his friend - he will be missed. - Posted by: Sam Nobre (Childhood friend, neighbour) on: Feb 05, 2014
