FEBRUARY 9, 1952 – MAY 26, 2021
Manuel Moniz Lopez Sousa passed away peacefully on Wednesday, May 26, 2021 at the age of 69.
Manuel was hard-working and had a great sense of humour. At times, he was also stubborn and hard-headed. He had a strong love for his family, especially his grandchildren, and he was blessed to have his close family and children by his side in his final moments before he passed away. Manuel enjoyed going to the gym, and although he thought he had a talent for fixing things, we would beg to differ. Manuel will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by his son Brian Sousa (Katie), daughter Jennifer Gralec (Arthur), grandchildren Carter Joseph Sousa, Hallie Isabelle Sousa, Sofia Maria Gralec, and Emma Grace Gralec, brother Jose Lopez Moniz Sousa (Valdomira Mederios Sousa), second wife Maria Filomena Sousa, nephew Danny, and his nieces Serina and Stephanie. Manuel was predeceased by his parents Maria and Daniel Sousa and his first wife Anna Maria Santos.
According to Manuel’s wishes, there is to be no visitation. Cremation has taken place and a private Funeral Mass will be held at St. Clement’s Church. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Lisaard House.
