Manuel Carreiro

Manuel tended my property for nearly 20 years. He was so cheerful and passionate in his communication. He always asked about my little boy… who eventually grew up and left home. However, Manual still asked about him at each visit. I have missed his truck pulling up at my curb. My deepest condolences to the family.

Dear Anita: thinking of you, and your family, and sending much love your way on the loss of your dear dad. Xox Beth

Our hearts go out to all the Carreiros, wonderful Rita ,and his three children, Tony, Anita and Mani , and his daughter in law Ana and and son in law Henry and his 4 grandchildren .. all who loved and respected Manuel so much . He was a dedicated family man ,a hard worker and a fun person to be with. He set a great example for his family and all who knew him.
We have so many fond memories over the years of Manuel working hard in our varied gardens ,making each one beautiful. .As hard as he worked he always loved a good visit and teasing and telling of jokes. Gus said he loved the couple of times he got to work alongside Manuel when we had produced a new garden project … there was never a task too daunting for him to take on He always saw them through with grace.
Over the years we have had the privilege of knowing the whole kind generous Carreiro family and we have been spoiled with Manuel’s tomatoes and other garden wonderful produce, and Rita’s delicious baking.
All of you can be at peace knowing that you did everything possible in Manuel’s last months to make him feel comfortable ,and loved. Your dedication was exemplary and I’m sure he left in peace knowing what a exceptional family he and Rita had raised. His values of integrity, kindness, generosity joy and hard work live on in all of you.
Our hearts are mourning your loss with you but I know he will live on in your memories and actions forever.
Love from Ricki and Gus

Rita, Anita, Tony and Family,
Hugs to all of you. I loved seeing your Dad when he would pick up or drop of the boys. Always had a big smile and we would chat everyday. I will miss his smile and his great sense of humour. He adored the kids and loved them so much. May the beautiful memories you shared help you all through the difficult times. He is no longer in pain…and heaven gained an angel

A wonderful neighbour who will be greatly missed in the neighbourhood. He was an incredible gardener and I loved learning tips and tricks from him.
We will miss seeing his face pop over the fence, and his laugh.
Condolences to you all, as you begin to grieve such a loss to your family. RIP in his heavy garden.

Our heart and prayers go out to all the family over this huge loss. Manuel was such a happy and friendly man. I will have fond memories of him at Beckwith Park as we enjoyed and watched our grandkids play together. Given his strong faith in the good Lord he is truly in a better place now. No more pain or suffering. He leaves behind an unforgetable legacy and will live on through his family. Our deepest condolences

Sending love and prayers to the family. I’ll plant some lettuce in my garden for him.

Sending prayers and condolences from all of us.
