Camille & family
Neil was a wonderful person who loved our road trips to SU football & basketball games more than any of us. His wit and candor will be missed by all. He remains our 'designated driver' taking the final road trip that we all must take. With great sympathy...

Neil showed remarkable courage and grace throughout his illness as did you. I am thinking of you and the girls and know that you all will get through these hard times.

Neil was a wonderful man with a great spirit. He was a friend and he fought a hard fight. We have a part of a leather jacket that Neil once wore, Martha made it part of a collage, it will be a great memory of the spirit he left behind. We will miss this great man. Thanks for sharing your life with us.

My dear friend Camille and family,

It's 3:15 am and as I laid in bed I couldn't help remember my friend Neil. I went back to the first time we met on the Miss Buffalo, Neil would often tell that story, what a classic. The most important was that he met and married my childhood friend Camille, a match only God could make himself.

I will miss my friend Neil and all of the financial discussions we would have and also good times together as we were raising our families. I will cherish the last time we were together at the cottage. You are at peace now and in the hands of God.

Your dear friend,
