I met Mr. Da Fonseca every Saturday for afternoon dialysis rush at University Hospital. Mr. Da Fonseca was a true gentleman and great human being. His presence and his positive aura always influenced me and made me kinder and more generous. I would remember him in my prayers and will pray for the departed soul. I will miss Mr. Da Fonseca's presence and my deepest condolences to the Family. Ashray N. Security Guard at UH
Dear Julia,Peter and Joey Dad and I were so sorry to learn of your loss. We enjoyed his many visits to the farm.He was a kind and caring soul with a wonder laugh.Dad was telling me of one of the trips out here to cut wood. Dad had an old brush pile. They ended up burning it and when it was down to embers Jim pulled out a portable barbeque put the hot embers in it and cooked everyone sausgaes on a bun. Know we will be keeping you in our thoughts.
