Jose Chirinos, of Hopewell Junction, entered into eternal peace on Saturday, August 1, 2015, following a brief illness. His final days were spent surrounded by his immediate family.

Born and raised in Peru, he immigrated to New York, where he met his wife and partner for life. He enjoyed nature, singing, making new friends, dancing and most especially the company of birds.

He leaves his loving memories to be shared by his wife, Anna; daughter, Carmen and fiance Richard; sons; Joe, wife Karen and grandson Matthew, Carlo, and Peter & wife Caroline.

A Celebration of Life ceremony/Mass will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 8, at Saint Mary, Mother of the Church, 103 Jackson Street, Fishkill.
