Jose Vieira, 82, a longtime resident of Brockton, died peacefully at Good Samaritan Medical Center in Brockton on Friday, August 19, 2022.  He was the loving husband of Maria Vieira for 54 years.

Joe then worked as a designer for the Public Works Directorate in Faial. He was a member of the Portuguese Army in the Medical Corps Unit and served in Mozambique. In 1968, Joe married Maria and they immigrated to the U.S. and settled in Stoughton until 1973 when he and his wife bought their residence in Brockton. Joe worked as a tax accountant for General Cinema Corporation in Chestnut Hill for over 20 years. He then attended Brockton Hospital School of Nursing before becoming a certified nursing assistant at Good Samaritan Medical Center for 15 years until his retirement. Joe was a kind, generous and thoughtful person who loved to help others in need. He enjoyed gardening and keeping up with the world news, but his greatest joy was spending time with his family.
