 Married on Sunday 12th June in the Church of St. Peter, Barkur

Love is the beginning of a beautiful life
shared by two,
a dream that begins with "I do."

to share with each other; there's nothing more
beautiful than two people who love one another.

Congrats Mr Roshan Lobo

It feels great to be Barkurian when I hear that you Mr Roshan Lobo bagged 5th place in Asian Power lifting Championship. It is great Roshan and I am sure with experience and exposure you will even bag a gold or silver in years to come. My hats are off to your talent, hard work and dedication. I am sure all your sweat, tear and blood has paid you handsomely in bagging this coveted place and honour. This is really jaw-dropping and stupendous achievement. May GOd give you the strength to bring more laurels and fame to your home town Barkur and to your country India. We are very proud of you. Convey my congrats to Mr Charles and Mom Philomena on my behalf. You were all my neighbors once. Though I do not know you personally as you were to small during my student time but I am very proud of what you have achieved.
 
I will certainly will make some attempts to promote this talent. We must nourish and promote talents like you. You are one of those rare talents to achieve so much in sports world. Whole of Barkur should be proud of your stupendous talent and achievement. Please step up your efforts to reach more heights. I will see this as meteoric rise with limited resources and training. I am sure with your busy work lots of efforts, time and money has gone in it. I am sure God will reward you in abundance in return. I wish you the very best in years to come and will endeavor to help you in whatever little I can do in future.
 
 
With kind regards,

LEGENDARY WILFY LIVING IN OUR HEARTS FOREVER

Once the shocking news saying ‘Konkan Kogul Wilfy Remimbus ceases to sing’ flashed in ‘Daiji world’ this morning, it unfolded innumerable feelings at one time, mostly with almost all Konkani lovers. There are many Konkani speaking populace who hardly read any books or literature in Konkani but surely we can vouch there will be none who have not heard of Wilfy’s songs!

For us Barkurian’s Wilfy the ultimate ‘King of Konkani Songs and Voice’. Yes our heart and soul would like to cherish those countless melodious numbers. But Wilfy you are matchless and unparallel, extremely enviable blend, both in composing and singing and coming to presenting them on stage, its a committed perfection – you are the one and only capable of filling the full stage, of any magnitude, that too anywhere in the Konkani world, in terms of your extreme dedication, class in every song you choose, with that gifted voice inbuilt in a towering personality, with authority!!

Wilfy Nite at Barkur on ICYM Silver Jubilee

It is early 80’s we come close to you in Mumbai. St. Peter’s Catholic Association Barkur – Mumbai (SPCYA) had that proud privilege to sponsor full packed record Wilfy Nite at St. Mary’s Hall, Mazgaon, thereafter it’s the turn of St. Peters Association (SPA) to invite you thrice at ultra modern Bhaidas Maganlal Auditorium at Vile Parla……all grand shows. Then in Brahmmavar in aid of Barkur Church renovation Fund, then never forgetting ICYM – Silver Jubilee Finale at Barkur Church open ground on Christmas Day in the year 2002, in the presence of all time record spectators.  Last three decades you are at the zenith of your fame as a live performer, and during this period, we are fortunate to have you and your troupe midst of us more than a dozen occasions. The last we witnessed the Wilfy Nite at ‘Makkala Mantapa, Brahmmavar’, organized by our own ‘The Expressions Group’ in December 2007, to the full entertainment of more than couple of thousand admirers.

Honoring Wilfy and  Meena in Barkur

The Wilfy’s musical ocean full of passion, love, punch, expression, appeal, moral with modulating expertise -  Yes out of every 10 songs you composed, might have sung one by yourselves and the rest of the nine for others…….you are the only one,  groomed and trained scores of artists, singers for us……!

We consider Wilfy Remimbus  as a ‘versatile genius’ with so many unique facets – a dramatist, story writer, composer, musician, in one man, dedicated more than 50 years to Konkani culture both as an addition and as a service and thereby earning a livelihood

Any amount praise is surely an understatement, yesterday the living legend and now onwards ‘great legend’ - long live this voice, for years to come and beyond……….Wilfy Remimbus will not be there physically, but we always remember you many times, everyday, because you and your songs become part of our busy life, at times gives us a sacred healing, and many a times smile, happiness in this so called modern uncomfortable and confused world.

We pray to Almighty Lord to grant the departed soul rest in eternal peace and strength to his beloved wife and children – ek adarsh  sangeeth kutam to bear this irreparable loss.

On behalf of Barkur-on-line Team & ICYM Barkur Ex-Members Association,

P. Archibald Furtado, Muscat – 10^th March, 2010.

Is there any greater loss for a mother than to lose her greatest son ?. Today Konkan Mata has lost her greatest son who cared her most, nourished her, dressed her with dignity, purity and beauty, took her to every nook and corner of the world and gave her recognition. Wilfy Rebimbus, a great legend, the whole Konkani fraternity salutes you. Through your music and songs you have given the best possible to the world, which will remain with generations, for many to smile when they are distressed, to cheer up when they are saddened, to wakeup when they fall, to fight when are deprived, to love when they are lost, to celebrate, to romance, to console, to reconcile, to cry, to laugh, so on and so forth or… just to listen and enjoy. Thank you Sir, you will always be in our hearts and mind. Good bye…

Our heartfelt sympathies to Rebimbus family and all the loved ones.

John & Joyce Gonsalves, Barkur / Muscat 10/03/2010

S/o Alwyn & Sujatha Andrade
Received  Holy Communion for the first time on Sunday February 14, 2010 at Holy Family Church, Brahmavar

We said a prayer for you today
And know God must have heard
We felt the answer in our heart,
Although he spoke no word.
We asked that he’d be near you
At the start of each new day,
To grant you health and blessings,
And friends to share the way.
