I have known Mr. Pinto since 1994 when he took me in as an employee of Kotak Mahindra. He also advised me to do my LLB at my very first appraisal which I promptly went on to do. I am so glad that I listened to his advice over the years and I owe my success to him. Other than being a really good person, he was a very spirited man, had a great sense of humour and enjoyed his life to the fullest despite all the problems that he had. He was also a true Manglorean and very proud of his roots. I will miss him tremendously! May his soul rest in peace.

I have known Mr Sidney Pinto as we were contemporaries in the Government Law college. He came from an outstanding Pinto family. He has had a brilliant career in Multinational companies as a Director and drafted the entire constitution of the Company. He has been known for his legal acumen and was an inspiration to the Board of Directors who sought his advice. He was a very devoted husband and a benevolent employer .In his death we have lost a brilliant legal scholar and an outstanding member of Catholic community . R.I.P.

Uncle Sidney was more concerned about creating wealth for a community than making money for himself. That alone would have made him the great man he was.But he was other things, too. He was a loving Uncle and Godfather to me. I shall never forget how he nurtured my literary and other intellectual pursuits, or the books he gave me and the pleasure he took in my little triumphs.I shall miss his encouagement, his letters, but, most of all, his love. He was the last of the Pintos of that generation. It falls to us now to carry on the legacy that my father, he and my Uncle Alan left to us. We pledge to keep the banner flying high.
Good bye, Uncle sidney. Love you and Jesus keep you.

Its such a huge loss to us....loosing such a wonderful, loving, Caring fatherly figure. Indeed i have not come across any one having a great heart like him. He influenced and guided positively many a lives towards success and prosperity. He would always be there to help any individual irrespective of his caste or creed in there need.The world of business, finance and banking and society lost one of its primadona individual.He was very passionate person, ones who dare to live their dreams in life. He acheived all that h wanted to in his life through his intellegence, passion and hardwork.I personally am in huge debt of his love and care. I am very sorry to loose him. HIS absense will always be there in our lives, but he will always live in our heart and prayers. May GOD bless his soul with PEACE and ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN. We MISS YOU.

Indeed it is sad that such a dynamic person has passed away just as many were remembering him after hearing about his maiden novel "Louis:Puchekanna" just released. I for one have distant memories of him in my childhood days in the vicinity of his paternal home "Woodlands" at Bijey which still exists. MAY HIS DEAR SOUL REST IN ETERNAL BLISS! -ijss.

I have just met Mr. Pinto a week ago at his residence, not knowing his background who is he. Later on found he is Founder Director of Kotak Mahindra Bank and Director for Cipla. Very humbled by his visit and sorry to hear he is no more...My deep condolences to his dear ones

On my recent visit to Mumbai, I came across his debut book, Louis Puchhekanna,recently launched by Shobaa Dey. Having liked it, I tried to meet him. But, being too ill and on oxygen at home, it could not come through. I reviewd the book for Daijiworld. Many people have inquired with Daijiworld and also with me on where the book can be purchased. I am informed that it can be ordered online from flipcart.com. On a recent visit to Bangalore, I purchased copies from one of the Sapna Book outlets.

The book evokes nostalgia for Mangalore of mid-1900s and also how Mangaloreans gravitated to and lived in Bombay. It is a pity that having written his first book in his eighties, he could not live long enough to relish its critical acclaim. May his soul rest in peace.

I was very sorry to hear of the death of Mr. Pinto. He was considered to be the Father of Banking in India and was an inspiration to us all.
He influenced the careers of many Mangaloreans and we were blest to have him in our midst.
I was fortunate to have him grace our wedding with his presence in 2004 when he travelled to the UAE.
May God grant him eternal life.
