We are devastated by the loss of our beloved brother, uncle, son, and brother-in-law Fernando or Nando as we called him. He was a joyful presence in our lives with a quick wit and ready smile for all he encountered. Nando was active in the community and always ready to lend a helping hand. He loved sports, good food, music and being with family and friends. Nando touched many lives in his brief time on earth and we are sure he is up in heaven making the angels laugh. We will mourn him and miss him dearly and our hope is that his sudden passing will help our friends and family reflect on the importance of hugging your loved ones and making every day count!
