We are sending our deepest Condolences and Respet for Norma and the Ferreira Family. Joe was like a second grandfather to us kids, growing up at our own grandparents home, Late Petra and Sim Turqueza (next door). Normas and Joes home was like a second grandparent home, Joe and Norma always calling "Pumpkin" then Joanne and Kim, what a wonderful Ohana they were and still are, Always looking out for us kids, along with Norma and the sweet Hawaiian breads she would bring every Christmas. My heart aches terribly once I heard he passed on Sunday. My sister Jessica said he passed the way he wanted, surrounded by his "Ohana" family. I will always keep a special place in my heart for you Mr Ferreira, pumpkin will be forever grateful. And so will Cheryle , Jessica, Michelle, Turqueza, McLaughlin, Gomez & Noland family. Fly with the angels, May you forever be in peace with god. We will make plans to be at the Memorial Service. love Cheryle,Pumpkin.
