Peacefully on September 17th, 2022 at home at age 81, our Papa passed away. Born in San Miguel, Azores, Portugal, the eighth of ten children born to the late Antonio Arruda and late Maria Viveiros. He immigrated to Canada in 1966 at age 25 and worked in several jobs before becoming a bricklayer for many years until his retirement. He leaves behind his wife of 56 years, Fatima Ferreira, their three daughters, two sons and their spouses along with 13 grandchildren and two great grandsons. He also leaves his two sisters, a large extended family and many friends in Canada and the Azores.
Papa enjoyed time spent with family, gardening, and was especially proud of his beautiful and tasty tomatoes. He enjoyed socializing immensely and would carry on a conversation with everyone.
According to his wish, there is no funeral. There will be a religious ceremony in the presence of his ashes at Sainte Bernadette Portuguese Catholic Church, 13 Sainte Bernadette Street in Gatineau, QC, on September 28, 2022 at 11 am. Family will receive condolences as of 10:30.
The family would like to thank the CLSC, in particular Dr. Marc Lapointe and the many wonderful nurses that provided excellent home palliative care.
In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated.
