Thank you for always checking in on me at the store when I lived in East Providence. I always enjoyed our conversations when you would update me on how our family and friends back in Pico we’re doing. You were always happy and smiling and nice to everyone. Adeus primo. Até a próxíma.

Há uns dias atrás o primeiro e amigo José ligou-me por videochamada, falámos dureza bastante tempo, recordámos coisas do passado, rimo-nos e ele quis deixar-me a mensagem de que não se estava a sentir bem, sem força, nomeadamente nas pernas e costas, tentei animá-lo com tudo o que pude mas reconheci que era uma espécie de despedida. Nunca esquecerei o seu sorriso sempre presente, a sua disponibilidade para ajudar todos e a sua grande vitalidade em frente às diversidades da vida, um bom exemplo de ser humana que jamais esquecerei. Que sua alma descanse em paz e que até ao dia do nosso reencontro.

Heartfelt condolences to the Castro family from Maarit and I. I don’t believe I ever had the pleasure of meeting the elder Joe Castro, but I am sure, based on the caliber of the rest of the Castros we have known and loved, he was an upstanding individual and I’m sure he will be missed very much. Time to move on for now but all believers I am sure will be confident that your paths will cross with him in the future.
