Born August 31, 1936, in Vila Franco do Campo San Miguel Azores Portugal. Passed away July 22, 2023.
With heavy hearts, the Sousa Family announces the passing of José Sousa (Joe) the beloved husband to Helena, Father to Luiz and Joe Jr, Grandfather to Scott, Kayla, and Tyler, and great grandfather to Mateo. José and Helena married July 22, 1962, and the following year immigrated to Victoria, B.C., Canada on December 3rd, 1963, to start a new life together. Speaking very little English, José managed to acquire employment in the construction industry as a laborer and proud union member. After a long career, José retired in 1991, giving him a well-deserved rest and extra time to spend with his grandchildren, friends and family. José passed away peacefully in his sleep one month shy of his 87th birthday and will be greatly missed. Our family would like to thank all the wonderful staff at the Royal Jubilee Hospital for taking great care of José while he was there.
A Funeral Service will be held at Our Lady of Fatima Church, 4635 Elk Lake Drive, Victoria, on Friday, August 4th, 2023, at 11:00 am.
