In Portugal his father attended the Sporting soccer academy, as a youth and played on the Sporting Club of Portugal team, for a few years. Got married and went into banking. In 1972 Joe’s father with very little English two children and a wife; had decided to immigrate to Canada. Joe at the time was 5 and his sister Paula was 2. Joe’s father became a welder and they moved into a beautiful home in Scarborough. Joe lived there until he met a girl at the age of 18 and had decided to start a family of his own.
He later moved on from Scarborough and traveled further east again to Orona Clarinton and then to Whitby after a few marriages had 4 sons and to add to his father bearing years, an extra 2 daughters that he married into.

As a semi retired cashier Cosco employee; working through departments and for the past 4 years now. A few years back Joe was diagnosed for severe depression and suicidal thoughts. Once he started testosterone replacement therapy he was able to go back to work again.
It makes Joe happy to be a night stocker, tire centre tech, propane station guy. He loves walking 15 to 25km a day, lots of heavy lifting and pushing 800 to 1,000 lbs of carts out on the lot; because in his mind he is getting paid for all this physical work.
Joe is not out to change anyone's views or opinions; but he now feels more alive than ever doing what he does as he gets paid for doing so.
