Maxeminio was born in Sao Miguel, Açores, Portugal on February 3, 1926. He immigrated to Canada in 1965 with his family to provide a better life. He worked for Versatile until his retirement in 1991. For those who knew our Dad, he has always been helpful when family or friends needed a helping hand; he had a heart of gold, very genuine, a great sense of humor, thoughtful, understanding, kind and full of love. But his greatest love and devotion was his wife and providing his unconditional love for his children and grandchildren. For the Lord seen you grow weak and tired that He gathered you in His arms to take you home, We love you and we will miss you greatly our dear Pai.
