LOWELL Agostinho ‘Gus’ Medeiros, 81,
of Lowell, passed away Sunday, September 8, 2019 after a long illness at

He was born in Sao Miguel, Azores,
Portugal on May 27, 1938 and was a son of the late Agostinho and the
late Maria Medeiros. He was raised in Sao Miguel, where he attended the
area schools and worked as a farmer.
In 1972, Gus relocated to the
United States, settling in the Back Central Street neighborhood of
Lowell. He was employed as a machine operator at Prince Spaghetti for
over 30 years before his retirement. Gus would often be found tending to
his garden, which was considered by some to be ‘the best garden in

throughout his life, spending time with his family brought him the most
happiness. He was a hard worker, great father, and provider to his
family, who meant the world to him.
