It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of José Norberto Pereira, who passed on September 23, 2025. He was born on June 6, 1930, in São Miguel, Açores, Portugal. José was predeceased by his wife Regina (2017), and numerous siblings. He is survived by his sons, Carlos and Joe, his grand-daughters, Denise and Jennifer, and family in Portugal.
José worked in the horticultural industry and was exceptionally hardworking. He could always be found working in his garden, even almost until his final days. He was talented and creative in woodworking, enjoyed conversating, and loved to walk everywhere.
He will be forever remembered for his strong work ethic, and for his faithful and loyal devotion to his family.

Gail I am a neighbour of the Pereira’s and Jose would stop and chat whenever I was out in my front yard. When my children were very young, I would often come home from work and find apples on my front porch. It took me many years to find out who had left them. Very typical of “Joe.” When I was in my backyard, I could hear him whistling while he worked. He sounded great! I have missed seeing him over the past many months and I’m glad he had a long life; he deserved it.

Suzana Kalyn My uncle was a kind and gentle man who enjoyed the simple pleasures in life. He took pride in tending to his lovely well kept garden. My mother had a little green chair that he hand made in Portugal,she brought it back to Canada on one of her return trips. She proudly displayed it with a nice doll sitting on it for many years in our Gordon Head home. Rest in peace❤️.
