MEDEIROS, Jacinto - Peacefully on Tuesday, December 15, 2020, at the age of 89.
He will be forever missed and cherished by his wife Teresa of 59 years and by his two sons, Jim (Sue), and Jesse (Fatima).
Proud grandfather to Sarah (Garett), Mitchell (Cristina) and Lucas, Julia and Mattaeus.
Proud great grandfather to Grayson (Sarah/Garett).
Jacinto will always be remembered by all of his living relatives including godchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, sister-in-law’s and brother-in-law’s.
Jacinto was well known for his generous spirit and eagerness to share stories of his life. He celebrated his 23rd birthday on a ship as he journeyed to a new country in 1954.
Landing on the shores of Nova Scotia, Pier 21, he travelled to Quebec to work on a farm and then off to work on the rail lines in northern Ontario.
Jacinto touched many lives. His optimism, warmth, spirituality, compassion, and selflessness will be missed by his wide circle of extended family and friends.
His devotion and firm belief in God ultimately gave him peace. His sons could not ask for a better role model, so proud and so loved.
Family and friends express our gratitude to the staff at St Joseph’s Health Centre in Toronto for their compassion and excellent care provided to our father in his final days.
As an expression of sympathy, in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the St Joseph’s Health Centre.
