I met Nev many years ago, when I started playing basketball at the same time as his daughters for Oakleigh Basketball Club. I had a lot of respect for him - all the hard work for the clubs he was involved with, but most importantly doing a good job of raising his 3 children. I hadn't seen him for many years, after I left the club, but he definitely made a big impact in many areas. Linda Darke (nee Bridges)

Nev will sadly be missed by many people. I met Nev many years ago when i was a coach at Valleys we often had a laugh together as rival club mates .. Then he was a champion gloater when i became involved with a wests junior club , Wests Arana Hills, & even more so when I became the "A" Grade Coach of Wests in 1990.. he just had to look at me without saying a word that he was gloating. what a great man was Neville Blair. will be remembered by Nev Hunter.
