Mr. Oliveira was born on March 27, 1935 in Monte Murtosa, Portugal a son of the late Jose and Virginia (Pinho) Oliveira. Joe had lived in Naugatuck since coming to the United States at the age of 12. He was a retired employee of the Chemical Division of Uniroyal, Inc. where he worked for 41 years and was a faithful parishioner of St. Francis of Assisi Church.

Joe loved his home. He was an avid gardener and talented woodworker who was a master of Do-It-Yourself projects for his family. Joe enjoyed traveling, especially to the beach. Two of his favorite destinations were Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and Ogunquit, Maine. As a young man, Joe was a semi-professional soccer player. He later continued his love of sports as a die-hard UConn basketball fan. Joe had a deep appreciation for music and art, and loved to sing and dance. Most of all, he loved to spend time with his family.
