Manuel Teixeira, age 83, of Beacon Falls, beloved husband of Conceicao N. "Connie" Teixeira, passed away peacefully at home on Monday, November 3rd, surrounded by his loving family.
Born on July 20, 1942, in Canhas, Madeira Islands, Portugal, he was the son of the late Francisco and Maria Teixeira. He was also predeceased by his siblings, Maria and Augustino Teixeira.
Manuel worked for many years for the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Works until his retirement. He was a proud and hardworking man who took great pride in everything he did.
