José L. Castañeda
José L. Castañeda, age 74, of Toronto, passed away on Saturday, May 22nd, 2021 at home surrounded by family.
José (Joe) “Noning” was born in Iloilo City, Philippines as the only child to Ma. Orofa and José T. Castañeda. He’s a proud alumnus of Colegio de San Juan de Letran where he completed his MBA and gained lifelong friends.
In his early twenties he met Ma. Teresa Fineza and only after seeing her for the first time, knew he would make a life with her. With their first born, they moved to Canada in 1971, where they continued to grow their family. Being a kind, loving father and husband was of the utmost importance to Joe. His friends and extended family have been blessed to experience his infectious smile and tender-hearted nature that stemmed from the devoted practice of his faith.
He is survived by his wife Teresa “Tessie”, and children Camilla Ruth “Apples” (Jeff Brown), Margarita Anne “Marggey” (Martin Dolgener), Teresa Rose “Trayce” (Robert Stewart), Josemari John “Joey”, and his grandchildren Kiefer David Jose, Aaven Seraph, Addyson Teresa Ruthann, Ryker Nelson Felino, and Tomasa Joe.

Lift Up Our Hearts
To you Saint Martin de Porres
we prayerfully lift up our hearts
filled with serene confidence and devotion.
Mindful of your unbounded
and helpful charity to all levels of society
and also of your meekness and humility of heart,
we offer our petitions to you.
Pour out upon our families
the precious gifts of your solicitous and generous intercession;
show to the people of every race and every colour
the paths of unity and of justice;
implore from our Father in heaven the coming of His kingdom,
so that through mutual benevolence in God
men may increase the fruits of grace
and merit the rewards of eternal life.
Amen.
