<div itemprop="description">John Mendes passed away on March 3rd, 2017 after a very sudden decline in his health. <br> <br>His wife, Margaret, and children, John, Paul, Charles, George and Rosa, are all quite shocked and saddened by this whirlwind of events. On Thursday, March 9th, John will be surrounded by his grandchildren, children, sister, wife, friends, as well as the thoughts and prayers of family in Europe who are not able to be present for the service. <br> <br>We will all warmly remember John's passion for Portuguese cuisine, Fado music, soccer, and long-winded stories. He was a very brave and independent man who left his home country at a young age, in the hopes of forging a new type of life for his family in Canada. In doing so, he brought together many different people and created a lot of love. <br> <br>His life was full of adventures that many of us feel lucky to have shared in or heard about after. If you have been touched by John, please feel free to join us for the funeral service this Thursday.</div>
