David D. Oliveira, 85, longtime resident of Plainville, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on Sunday, March 24, 2019 at UCONN in Farmington. He was the beloved husband to Joan (Bosse) Oliveira for 62 years.
David was born in Hartford, son to the late Joseph and Josephine (Abreu) Oliveira.
