Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryJOSE MEDEIROS MENDES On August 26, 2015 at Winnipeg, MB, Jose, beloved husband, father, and grandfather passed away at the age of 81 years. Besides his wife Amelia, he is survived by daughter Maria (Dean), sons Manuel, Antonio (Elma), Albano (Danielle), and grandchildren Myles, Kyle, Alana, Mario, Emila, Celina, Luke, and Jack. He also leaves to mourn his brother Manuel Ledo (Maria dos Anjos), a brother-in-law, sisters-in-law, and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by son, Jose (Joe) Mendes and his first wife Maria Jose. Jose was born on September 29, 1933 in Sao Miguel, Azores. His strong work ethic stemmed from working on the family farm at an early age. He immigrated to Canada in 1956, eventually joining CN for a career that spanned more than 30 years. He enjoyed spending time at his cottage at Winnipeg Beach with family and friends where he spent his last days. He also enjoyed gardening and wine making. He will be remembered for his outgoing personality with a mischievous sense of humour. Always one to greet you with a warm smile and a good joke, he enjoyed a laugh or playing a practical joke on his friends and family. He had a deep faith and devotion to church. He was a founding member of the Knights of Columbus Council Saint Condestavel, and also an active member of the Legion of Mary at Immaculate Conception Parish. Family was always a great source of pride and focus for Jose. He recently celebrated his 50th wedding anniversary with his wife Amelia. Jose always showed a keen interest in his grandchildren and loved to tell them stories of his childhood in the Azores. Prayers will be Sunday, August 30 at 8:00 p.m. at Immaculate Conception Parish, 181 Austin St. North. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Monday, August 31 at 10:00 a.m. also at the Church with Father Tiago officiating. Interment will follow in Holy Family Cemetery. If friends so desire, donations may be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association or Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba. CROPO FUNERAL CHAPEL 204-586-8044
