Obituary of Joao Vieira Alves

João Vieira Alves Alves, Joao Vieira, April 11, 1935 – March 28, 2020. Passed peacefully at his home in the long-term care facility after enduring over a decade long battle with Alzheimer’s disease. He is survived by his wife Catarina; his children Maria (Dennis), Luisa (Serge), Gabriela, João M (Ingrid) and Bernadette (Jason); his grandchildren Samantha, Justin, Megan, Alex, Eric, Rebecca, Lilly, Madison, Carter; and his great-grandchildren Jordan, Elijah, Kye, Micah, and Kairo. João retired from McDonnel Douglas (Boeing) after 29 years in 1998, and left quite the impression on his colleagues. We still hear stories about his strong work ethic, his jovial attitude, and how they all knew about his homemade wine. He was a long-time proud member of CAW Aerospace Local 1967 and enjoyed participating in the annual parades and other union functions. João found tremendous joy in creating and maintaining a large garden and those who knew him would attest to that. Our family would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude, to the doctors, nurses and PSWs at Bloomington Cove that looked after him. Their care and compassion was exemplary. Due to the present situation with Covid-19, a “Celebration of Life” is postponed until the Physical Distancing Ban is lifted, for everyone’s health and safety. In lieu of flowers at this time the family would appreciate any donations in João’s memory to the Alzheimer’s Society. João Vieira Alves Alves, João Vieira, 11 de Abril de 1935 - 28 de Março de 2020. Passou pacificamente em sua casa na instituição de longa permanência depois de mais de uma década de batalha contra a doença de Alzheimer. Ele deixa sua esposa Catarina; seus filhos Maria (Dennis), Luisa (Serge), Gabriela, João M (Ingrid) e Bernadette (Jason); seus netos Samantha, Justin, Megan, Alex, Eric, Rebecca, Lilly, Madison, Carter; e seus bisnetos Jordan, Elijah, Kye, Micah e Kairo. João se aposentou do McDonnel Douglas (Boeing) após 29 anos em 1998 e deixou uma boa impressão em seus colegas. Ainda ouvimos histórias sobre sua forte ética de trabalho, sua atitude jovial e como todos sabiam sobre seu vinho caseiro. Ele era um membro de longa data orgulhoso do CAW Aerospace Local 1967 e gostava de participar dos desfiles anuais e de outras funções sindicais. João encontrou uma enorme alegria em criar e manter um grande jardim e aqueles que o conheciam atestariam isso. Nossa família gostaria de estender nossa sincera gratidão aos médicos, enfermeiras e PSWs de Bloomington Cove que cuidavam dele. Seus cuidados e compaixão eram exemplares. Devido à situação atual com o Covid-19, uma "Celebração da Vida" é adiada até que a Proibição do Distanciamento Físico seja levantada, para a saúde e segurança de todos. A família apreciaria qualquer doação na memória de João para a Sociedade de Alzheimer.
