Utterly gracious Eustace passes away

The last stalwart of Radeus Advertising has passed away. Eustace Fernandes was the creator of the now famous 'Amul Girl' - the little adorable moppet who charms us from prominent hoarding sites. He used to call her his beloved 'Little Girl'.How does one describe Eustace? Innovative, creative, generous, always ready to reach out to the needy, humorous.
