AUGUSTO MARTINHO da CUNHA VIEIRA It is with deep sadness that the Newell-Vieira family announces the passing of Augusto Vieira. He died Sunday, February, 5, 2017 at the age of 64.

He had a great presence, an infectious laugh and was a true gentleman. He leaves behind countless friends who loved him like family. His passion and knowledge of art was an inspiration to many.
