He enjoyed spending time at the Somerset boat ramp, where he was really well known. Mr. DoCouto was really a social butterfly, there wasn't a person that Pedro didn't become friends with.

Besides his wife, he is survived by his children: Michael DoCouto and his wife Kim of Somerset and Maria Amorim  and her husband Alexandre of East Providence, Rhode Island; two grandchildren: Vanessa Grace Couto and Jack Nolan DoCouto. He is also survived by his siblings: Jose Couto and Clotilde Taveira both of Somerset, and Manuel Couto of  Coventry, RI and several nieces and nephews. He was the father of the late Emmanuel J.
