Osbert Francis D’Sylva
elevated tJYTB September 13, 1949 ~ April 14, 2020
elevated tJYTB Osbert “Obby” D’Sylva passed away peacefully on April 14th at home surrounded by his family. He was a devoted husband of 41 years to Assumpta and a patient father to his daughters Sharon and Lourdy. He will be dearly missed by his sisters, brother, in-laws, nieces, nephews and friends here in Canada and India.
Words are not sufficient enough to describe his kind hearted nature, his infectious laughter and his unwavering willingness to help others. He was a devoted husband and father who enjoyed spending time with his loved ones. He enjoyed going to work everyday and interacting with his colleagues who he considered his dear friends.
He had many joys in life including music, building things with his hands, cooking his favourite dishes, and he always had a joke for every occasion. He will be truly missed by all.
We will miss a good cousin and friend dearly.
Happy memories of togetherness of family will be cherished in the hearts forever.
We shall keep in prayer that the Lord will grant eternal salvation in His Kingdom.’
RIP Obby!

Dear Osbert,
This transition will never take away our memories of you. You were an exceptional friend and human being full of love, kindness, and a great sense of humour who lived a life to its fullest. We shared a great friendship for over almost 2 decades and the respect we had for each other was ever so mutual and gracious.
My wife and all three of my daughters who share fond memories of the time spent with you, also deeply feel this sudden turn of time.
I am confident your beautiful family will continue to celebrate the moments shared with you and forever feel your guiding presence each day going forward. My entire family stands with yours at this time.
Rest in peace my dear friend.

We extend my deepest sympathies to you and your family. May Osbert’s soul be at peace with our Heavenly Father. May the Lord comfort you all during this very difficult time in your lives.
My heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Obbie. He will be missed. Yes, he loved to build things. He built me my first guitar when I was in college. He also built a Styrofoam Kuwait Airways aeroplane for Karen and my wedding. It came down the hall and dropped confetti on us when we cut the cake. He will be remembered for his ready smile. Sending strength and prayers for the family to deal with this difficult time. 🙏
Our deepest sympathies to the D’Sylva family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Rest in peace Obby

Dont know if you remember me. We were playmates when you lived in Chembur.
I am just shocked and at a loss for words on reading of Obby’s passing. I have just got to know about this.
My heatfelt sympathies go out to Obby’s wife Assumpta, his daughters Sharon and Lourdy and all the members of the bereaved D’Sylva family.

Holding you all close to my heart in prayer.

Whenever speaking with Obby over the course of these past 20+ years (whether at his work or during some extended family gathering), he never failed to be anything but a thoroughly decent, good humoured gentleman.
Our prayers & condolences for Assumpta, Sharon, and Lourdy in this sad hour.
