 I had the opportunity of meeting Neville at Mudra Communication, I am working as Mac Operator in studio and lucky to work under person like him. After i left Mudar and nearly four - Five years after we meet near Indian Express building and he immediately recognise me and ask for my work and family. BIG PERSON _ BIG HEART

 All you people who have met/worked/seen Mr. Neville are extremely,extremely lucky people. I only know of him from the stories told by Josy at Brand David, from their time together. Sir I know you will always always be remembered.

 I have never spoken to Mr. Simon Fernandes. He had come for a guest lecture in my college and once i had been to his institute(MICA). Personally, i didn't know at all but now i have lost the oppurtunity to know him even a bit. May god bless his soul.

 I had the opportunity of meeting Neville (or Neville and Josy) at Lintas Madras, where I was in the creative then. Both of them were natonal creative directors doing the work all over. Did some remarkable campaigns for the region. One day I saw Neville busy doing a kind of poster with pics of jazz. on query he said he loves jazz and never gets tired of collecting such pics. What attracted me was his child like joy and sincerity in doing so.
I was shocked to his name in the obituary. Cant believe it. May his soul rest in peace.

 Neville and I shared a common interest. Bikes. And I recollect that day when I bought my first bike, he was the first person to come out and share my joy.. Neville, you'll always be remembered.

 Neville, the gizmo king, great love for good food and great art direction sense. Will miss a fantastic easy going and chilled person. Neville, you will always be remembered whenever I go to Mahesh lunch home.

 A school mate then a colleague at Lintas. Warm and friendly and very accomodating of all types. Neville lived life to enjoy it. Be it food, model aircrafts, photography, gizmos, movies et al. It was a pleasure to meet him first thing in the morning on entering office. Fun loving to the core. Difficult to accept that he's no more.

 Neville came to work with a patent mischevious smile , his cabin at lintas which he shared with Josy was always crowded with a number of wannabe creatives . He always had the time to hear any kind of nonsensical ideas that we shared with him and the talent to grasp the really good ideas. will miss you buddy.

 I started my advertising career in Mudra, Bombay. Neville was the CD of my group and it was such a blast working with him. And, of course, I remember the long lunches he used to invite me for at the retaurants near Crawford Market. Perks of being a poor trainee, then. He made the workplace so much fun. Neville, I will remember you mate.

 He was the kind of person who was so easy to work with - perhaps he would reduce all your work stress, and take it upon himself. God, we will miss you wherever you are up there.
