He was dearly called Fifi by friends and family, he was born in Portugal and moved to Brazil when he was 16 years old . He worked as meat butcher and soon open his own business in Rio de Janeiro where his four kids were born . He moved to California in 1985 and started working on dairy farms until his retirement in 2005. He loved to farm and was great with plants. He would make any soil produce fruit and vegetables, it was his passion. Fifi was a great cook, Brazilian foods, seafood and churrasco were his favorite. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends and anybody that eat his food ❤️
