Andrea, we shall miss your father always. He was the first
Person I met at Hampton Place
And after meeting we shared many happy moments together. Your Dad was one of
The kindest, most proper gentleman and one of the most well traveled we knew.
At dinner he would tell wonderful stories of his adventures.
He adored you. He often spoke of you in the most prideful way.
We wish him eternal peace.

Dr Melvyn was our instructor during post graduate medical course from Harvard Medical course, we all enjoyed his teaching style and presentation. He was very much approachable person, I was in touch him through LinkedIn. he responds immediately for any questions or wishes. It is indeed a big loss for all of us.

My deepest condolences. I am deeply saddened to hear about Prof. Menezes passing away. He is by far one of the most memorable professor during my MBA years at BU. When I reflect, he was a great marketing professor and I know his classes were difficult, but I learned so much. He will be missed.

My deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Professor Menezes. He was exceptionally committed, and he had a way of encouraging students to reach their full potential. I still remember his "last lecture", and the sincere advice he gave.

Goodbye to a wonderful friend of fifty plus years. We met in college and had many precious memories together. I will forever cherish our last meeting in July this year in Providence, RI, a wonderful time shared with old friends.
Rest in peace, my friend. We will always remember you.

We are still reeling from this really sad news. Melvyn and his late wife Maria were very dear friends of ours.
You are going to read this sentiment repeatedly .... Why? Because that´s who they were, just wonderful friends. Always interested in what´s happening in your lives, your children´s lives. Always had positive vibes around them which made people feel good.
They used to have really funny stories and one that comes to my mind is when Melvyn teased Maria, I believe it was an April fools joke, he said he had read in the local newspapers that they were going to combine the towns of Westwood and Dedham and that the new town was now going to be Dedwood. Oh my gosh it was too hilarious, Maria exclaiming, "I can´t live in a place called Dedwood!". This is just one example of his humor.
Another thing that I´ll always remember them by is how they showed up on time for our parties. If you´ve heard of Indian Standard Time, it´s about how Indians are always late for their social events. Not Melvyn and Maria... they were on time always, that is till they realized that they often arrived before their hosts were ready to receive them, and they started showing up 15 minutes later. It was a joke amongst us.
I write about this with tears in my eyes because I miss them so much. Now we´ve lost our dearest Melvyn to her. While I am sad to lose another dear friend, I take solace in the fact that he is reunited with his dear wife Maria. We will miss you dearly, Melvyn. We will miss your calls on our birthdays, your impeccable manners, your funny and not so funny anecdotes. We are indeed very sorry for this loss in our lives. May you be reunited with your love and rest in peace dear friend.
