I am sorry to hear of the passing away of senhor Fernando. I remember going to his shoe shop with my dad and he would repair my shoes putting half soles on them and I would often see him riding his bike in town and We would chat. My condolences to all of his family and may his soul Rest In Peace. Sincerly, Carlos Lucas(son of Manuel Germany LUCAS and Iolanda LUCAS)
