Alameda Times-Star 7/23/2003

	On January 15, 2003, succumbed to years of illness at the age of 
65 in Brookings, Oregon. Born in Fremont to Alfred and Evelyn (Azevado) 
Peixoto, he grew up over the family business, The Irvington Meat Market, on 
Bay Street. In the 1950s he graduated from Washington High School, went on 
to learn the bakery trade, and served in the US Army. He worked as a baker 
for 38 years at Neldam's Danish Bakery in Oakland. He was a kind and gentle 
soul who is missed by brothers Marvin (Jean) and Delbert (Shirley) Peixoto. 
His loss is deeply felt by his nephews Marvin, Tom and Dan Peixoto and nieces 
Jo Ann (John) Coli and Julie (Ed) Iverson. He is also mourned by his great-
nephews John and Joe Coli and great-nieces Sierra and Miranda Iverson. 
Family and friends are invited to attend a mass said in his honor on Saturday, 
July 26 at 10:00 a.m. at Our Lady of Guadalupe (Fremont Blvd. site). A graveside 
service at Irvington Memorial Cemetery, 41001 Chapel Way, will immediately 
follow the Mass.
