Joseph RAPOSO Obituary

Passed away peacefully on September 10, 2021 after a very short battle with cancer. Loving husband of Wendy Sikora. He will be dearly missed by his three daughters Julia, Melanie (Jason) Kirkpatrick and Michelle (David) Maniaci. Adored Granddad to Brandon, Alexa, Justin, Mikayla and Crayton.

Dear brother and brother-in-law to Nuno (Paula), Luis (Paula), Helena, Paul (Diane), Mario (Linda), Maria, Art, Peter (Sandy), Hugo (Jackie) and Alan and May Simpson. Predeceased by his brother Carlos and his wife Karen, his brother Frank, his sister-in-law's Linda Raposo and Kathy Simpson (Sikora) and brother in-law Jim Sikora.

Lovingly, remembered by his many nieces and nephews. He will also be sadly missed by the "Gang", his brothers from another mother, his golfing buddies, his Harvester gang and many friends.

He will be remembered for his kindness, intellect, sense of humour that never wavered in his final days and he was always willing to lend a hand to anyone in need. He made over a dozen Mexico mission trips to help build houses for those less fortunate and jumped in to help out during the pandemic delivering food and meals for the "Meal Bag Program" at Wellington Square. He was an avid golfer and sailor and loved spending time with family and friends.

A special thanks to the wonderful staff at Joseph Brant Hospital for their kind and compassionate care.

Hi Wendy
We met many years ago when Joe and I both worked at VicWest. Gwen Hughes told me about Joe’s passing. I remember Joe as a true team player, always with a pleasant smile on his face.
My heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family Wendy.

Wendy, I was blessed to have worked with Joe during our Vicwest days. He was always a pleasure to work with demonstrating great knowledge with grace. With the passing of years Julia is now grown, but when Joe and I worked together (1998-2004) she was young and Joe's love for her showed in our many conversations. You and all of Joe's family are in my prayers.
