Not sure what to say?

My heart will forever be empty. I miss you and I love you daddy. Thank you for being the greatest father a man could be. Love always, the baby of the five.

OBITUARY: BEDE DE ZILWA ( 1926- 2013 ) “Tribute to a Peterite Icon”
It was indeed a moment of great sadness when I learnt of the passing of a true Peterite Icon—Bede De Zilwa on Tuesday 28 May 2013. I have known the De Zilwa Family for many decades and more specifically, as we lived in the same suburb of Dehiwela, Colombo, (Ceylon) Sri Lanka until emigration to Australia in 1967.
It was the era of British Colonial rule in Ceylon and the need for a good education...

Rest in peace Uncle Bede, so happy I met you during my visit to Australia in 2008

Bede thank you for the love and kindness shared, the songs you would sing, the tiny banjo you would strum, the happiness when you sang will be remembered. Thank You

I long to see you, to hear your voice, I sank like a stone when I heard you'd gone.
You,ll be in our hearts forever.
RIP
Rudolph, Tove, Kathy and Ian.

We were so glad to sing with you last December,not knowing it would be your last. Rest in peace now and bet you are entertaining the crowds in paradise.
Sorry we won't be there to say GoodBye. Pam and Rodney Jansz

Always loved and remembered in our hearts and prayers.
