Neil may you rest in the hands of God. May your family and friends find comfort in the many wonderful memories they have of you. And to our great friend Kevin (and beautiful family), thank you for allowing us the opportunity to know your father by including us as a part of your family, in all of the many times we have come to your house when your father was there. It was a joy to know him and see how his face lit up when you were around. He was truly blessed to have you for a son, and all you did for him. There will now be a sad hole, that Neil once filled at family events. You are all in our thoughts.
