Fresh memories of Fr. Albuquerque from the time of my novitiate where he taught us music and lovely songs. Even now I sing some of those konkani songs. Very jovial and flexible and we enjoyed learning music and singing from father.The song konki amchi bas, konkan amcho gaon, konkan sharanth ami konke zaon asaun... cannot be forgotten.. May his music resound everywhere as he has reached the abode of God..

Thank you Daijiworld for relaying the Final Journey of my guru Rev. Fr. Walter Albuquerque. I felt as if I was there present in Mangalore for the ceremony along with others, though I am miles away.

It was a memorable ceremony. "Ave Maria" by the Sexaphonist along with Bab Joel on piano after communion was so soothing and consoling. Fr. Walter definitely must have enjoyed from heaven.

Long live Fr. Walter. You will always remain in our hearts so long as music lives in us.

I have known Father Walter from my childhood. A quiet, sedate good... a gifted man of God. During his lifetime he was indeed called a Kogul because of his singing and musical talent. He was a indeed a good composer of music and has several hymns and tunes as his record.

MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE.

Through each and every hymn we are/will be singing, Fr. Albuquerque is alive with us. Its not us glorifying God, but its Fr. Albuquerque continuing to do it through us. RIP most Rev. Fr. Walter Albuquerque, watch us reciting your creations melodiously after you in praise of God.

In the demise of Fr. walter the church has lost a doyen of spiritual music both in Konkani and english. His great voice still resonates in my years even after so many decades. Hardworking, dedicated and committed are the words that come to mind when I think of him. As many have said earlier, he and his memory will live for long through his compositions.I have no doubt that his reward will be great in heaven and that the heavenly choirs will welcome a talented musician in their ranks. A life that deserves to be celebrated a memory to be revered and kept alive. Heartfelt sympathies to the Jesuit community. Elvin

One of the Priests of Jesuits had said, casually that one of the priests who have kept intact his baptismal robe is Fr Albuqurque. Such was his life. I salute him. I am grateful for his selfless service for Bethany.

Those hymns of Fr. Walter Albuquerque will continue to be heard in every church for years to come and will keep the memories of the man alive. Walter will remain for years in the memory of the church of Dakshina Kannada and through his hymns gratitude of praise through his hyman will be heard in heaven. Walter - you will continue to hear while there with God of the many compositions and hymns that you composed to sing His glory. Thank you. You have inspired all of us and your inspiration will continue. We are glad that you have gone there to sing your song for eternity. Pray for us

I know Fr. Albuquerque from the days of my Novitiate 1969 onwards & I have learnt music (Organ) under his guidance. He is a very humble & simple jesuit,ready to teach music to anybody without expecting any reward.. I thank u Fr. Albuquerque for your gift of composing hymns and liturgical music both in konkany and English. The church in manglore is enriched by your rich contribution to music. Thus you have spread the word of God & fulfilled the mission of Christ. Your memory will be cherished by mangaluriance forever. May u join the choirs of angels and praise God through your music forever and ever. May you R.I.P.
