My grandpa was born in São Paulo on 23 August
1928, on the Southwest coast of Brazil. He was from a Portuguese family. He had
three brothers and two sisters.
He went to Elementary School in a neighborhood
called Brás. He left school after 4 years.
He went back to school when he was nineteen. He used
to like studying and reading, specially about Science.
On 1 June 1963, he married my grandmother (his cousin). They had two daughters (one of them is my mother).
He used to
work in a Pharmacy before working with his dad and brothers. They had a
company that produced machines to make shoes.

In his free
time, he used to read National Geographyc magazines, and science books. He also
loved to work in his garden and fix his car.
He died of cancer
on 27 August 1992.
If I had the chance I would like to meet him.
