Dear Keeth & Kirk,
So sorry to hear about my beloved "Uncle J." He was one of a kind. Please know that I would have driven to SF for a last goodbye had I known. He was truly the "Last of the Mohicans."

Kirk and family, Our Moffitt Street fond memories again of your dad and his humor. In his later years we got to know him better and he helped us get a window on ourselves. There is a wisdom in that. We are grateful for having a little bit of him and you in our lives and you were supportive to him in the quality of his final care. Thank you

We will miss Mr. Souza's infectious “joie de vivre” and his interesting and animated conversation. He nick-named Maree “fun-lovin”, but it was really him to the core. Our condolences to Keeth and Kirk and all the family.

Mr. Souza was a lovely, kind, humorous man who I knew through his son Kirk. My family will remember him with great fondness and we send our sincere condolences to the Souza family.
