Diamond Birthday Wish!

Flavian Pinto

(July 04, 1952 – July 04, 2012)

Dearest Canada's Comedy King Flavian Pinto,

God gave a gift to the world when you were born
a person who loves, who cares,
who sees a person’s need and fills it,
who encourages and lifts people up,
who spends energy on others
rather than himself,
someone who touches each life he enters,
and makes a difference in the world,
because ripples of kindness flow outward
as each person you have touched, touches others.

Today it is your 60th birthday
though you look so good, it's true,
so we'd like to take this moment
to say 'Happy Birthday' to you....
"Does one feel frisky at 60, Or is it the Whisky?"

Miriam is your adorable wife next to none
Marlon,Francisca & Leandra are your talented children
‘Love God and thy neighbour’ is your household passion
Serving community thro’ your talents without expectation
Your outstanding love for Konkani Art & Culture with no comparison
How wonderful is your untiring ambition
Your simplicity & humbleness deserves all salutation!

Don't be so sad, Being 60 isn't so bad!
Don't rush to make your will, because you're now Over the Hill.
Take time to smile, You’ve got a while
Before everything goes south, and teeth fall from your mouth.
Happy 60th Birthday to you! Who? Flavian that's who!

Congratulations to you, our evergreen friend,
Birthday wishes to you, we send.
You look good for your age, we could say,
But you look good to us any day.

May this birthday be your best birthday ever,
full of light and laughter,
a fireworks (that Canadian's enjoyed on Canada Day) explosion of joy.
May this birthday live in your memory forever,
creating happiness and satisfaction
whenever you remember it.
Happy, happy 60th birthday!

Hearty wishes & blessings from your near & dear ones
from across the globe
