He loved his place of birth, Ribeira Grande, as he did his adopted country. He loved nature and soccer matches, as he had been an avid soccer player in his youth. Jose took great pride in his children's and grandchildren's accomplishments. His smile will be greatly missed. The family would like to thank Seven Oaks Hospital Units U4 and U5 for their care and compassion.
