My dad Neal was a great man, he was always there for me when I needed him. When I got home from aunt Patty's house, the first thing I asked my Mom" Where is Daddy?"

Neal was a very energetic individual.
Educated and yet down to earth type of person.
Always compassionate and responsible.
He knew how to brighten up a situation at the drop of a hat.
A brother, a husband, a father.
To everyone that knew him, he left an impression.
What more can be said about someone that makes life worth living.
I will miss him.
