My heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathy goes out to Patrick Neville's Family and Close Friends. Patrick was my original supervisor (Foreman) during my career at New York Telephone, which is now Verizon.
Patrick was always a very fair person, never holding any malice towards any of the young men of diverse backgrounds he supervised. He actually physically thought us (hands on) the skills sets in becoming Splicing Technicians, and a few of us in his original gang eventually became Foreman and/or Managers because of his teaching knowledge and love for the job.
My personal experience with Patrick was sharing our diverse cultures one day when working in the World Trade Center in the early 70's. He shared with me his love for Irish music, Irish culture, and talked about his Family members (he has) in Ireland. All I could share with him was my growing up in Brooklyn, N.Y., since I was only 17 years old at the time. But it was his talking of Ireland that made me want to travel, and that I did and still do today. My Career at Verizon I solely owe to Patrick, for his teachings, his personal guidance, and best of all, his Friendship. He will be missed. May he rest in peace.
