Joao Esteireiro apprenticed the trade of Painter in Sao Miguel Azores Portugal. Shortly after being married in 1963 he went on to work on the island of Bermuda. In the late 60’s Canada was looking for skilled tradespeople. He applied to immigrate to Canada and Canada granted him landed status. In 1968 he brought his family and from there he built a successful life for him and his family in his new county. He and his loving wife raised their family in Mississauga. All three of his children completed University and are busy with their lives and families. Joao and his brothers built their own cottages close to each other in the town of Wasaga Beach. For a number of years, they looked forward to weekends and the summer months where they could spend time with each other and together with family and friends.

Special thanks to the caring staff at the Critical Care Unit of the Trillium Partners Health Hospital.
