João Baptista Darin Filho (uncle)

João Baptista Darin Filho was one of my Mother's six brothers. He was actually child # 9 of 13 children (the oldest died still in infancy). He inherited his father's Brazilian name with the addition of 'Filho' (son). His father Giovanni Battista was blondish but his mother Erminia was of a slightly darker complexion. João Baptista took after his mother having a crop of black hair and swarthy looks

João Baptista married late in life (39 years old) just when everyone thought he would remain a bachelor for life.  

Like some of his brothers he worked as an operator at Cine São Luiz and Cine Marilia. As he liked to toy with cars and trucks he ended up becoming a truck driver and a mechanic to boot.

By 1947, he was introduced to a 16 year-old-girl called Maria da Glória Redondo who worked as a maid for the company's manager Dona Letícia. They started dating and made plans to get married as soon as João's father's new brick house on Rua Campos Salles, 350 was ready. Maria's parents Benedicto Redondo & Maria Conceição had plans to move to São Paulo but they waited until 13 October 1949, when Maria married João.
