Augusto worked as a baker with Eaton's Company until its closure and shortly afterwards worked for Motor Coach until his retirement. Augusto enjoyed traveling and meeting new people.

It's difficult to come up with just the right words to let you know how sad I am that you (Carlos) and your family are going through this grief. I am here to support you in any way I can. I have many memories that I will never forget about Mr. DaSilva, He always welcomed me in his house and asked me to try his wine. Our friends always used to joke about how much Mr. DaSilva looked like George Jefferson from the "The Jefferson's, but funnier. To the DaSilva family, please accept my most heartfelt sympathies for your loss. Tom Hristovski and family. - Posted by: Tom Hristovski (friend of the family) on: Feb 19, 2014
