Joaqu Olveira

Joaquín Olveira passed away peacefully on Tuesday, August 20, 2024, surrounded by his beloved family. He was a master cabinetmaker who worked at Budd Woodwork for over 30 years and took great pride in his craft. He loved to visit Esteiro, his hometown in Galicia, Spain, where he was happiest fishing in the open ocean, strolling through the old familiar paths of his childhood, visiting all, remembering old stories and cracking jokes. He was an excellent cook who enjoyed preparing homemade meals for family and friends.

He is survived by his devoted wife Laura, daughter Mónica, son-in-law Tom, and granddaughter Sofía (his pride and joy!), his sisters Rosa María and María Jesús and brother Eduardo, as well as his nieces, nephews, and extended family members. Joaquín will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him. The countless friends and family members who adored him are living testament to his legacy of selfless service and love. 

Please join us to honor Joaquín's life at a gathering that will be held at Boulevard Funeral Home, 1151 River Road, New Milford, New Jersey, on Saturday, September 14th. Instead of sending flowers to the family, please consider making a donation to either plant a beautiful memorial tree @ plant a tree or to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in memory of Joaquín Olveira.

Joaquín Olveira falleció en paz el martes 20 de agosto de 2024, rodeado de su querida familia. Fue un magistral ebanista que trabajó en Budd Woodwork durante más de 30 años y siempre se sintió muy orgulloso de su oficio. Le encantaba volver a Esteiro, su pueblo natal en Galicia, España, donde siempre era muy feliz pescando a mar abierto, paseando por los antiguos senderos de su infancia y adolescencia, visitando a todos sus conocidos, recordando antiguas historias y contando chistes.  Era también un estupendo cocinero que disfrutaba preparando comidas caseras para su familia y amigos.

Su querida esposa Laura, su hija Mónica, su yerno Tom y su nieta Sofía (su orgullo y alegría), sus hermanas Rosa María y María Jesús, y su hermano Eduardo, así como sus sobrinos y el resto de la familia le recordarán siempre. Todos aquellos que conocieron y quisieron a Joaquín le extrañarán profundamente.  Los innumerables amigos y familiares que le adoraban son testimonio vivo de su legado de ayuda y cariño desinteresados.

Os invitamos a rendir homenaje a Joaquín en una reunión que tendrá lugar en Boulevard Funeral Home, 1151 River Road, New Milford, New Jersey, el próximo sábado 14 de septiembre. En lugar de enviar flores a la familia, agradeceríamos que se hiciera una donación para plantar un hermoso árbol conmemorativo @ plant a tree o para St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital en memoria de Joaquín Olveira.
