Memory-Neil telling me some ridiculous Louie Hemsey story, so funny that Neil couldn't finish the story bc he was laughing so hard telling it. Neil laughed better then anyone I ever knew!!!

In listening to his sister's powerful eulogy, it was emotionally inspiring to know NEIL is a MAN OF HONOR FOREVER!!

WE LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER

May you take comfort in knowing that in God's masterplan he cares about each one of us as he cradles us in his hand. We never know the weaver's plan. Just remember he gives us strength in which to carry on. We are so very sorry this had to happen to a wonderful son, friend and just a fantastic person. We will miss Neil soooooooooo much....You are all in our thoughts and prayers forever......

My deepest condolences to Mrs. Lyons, Maria, and the rest of the family. All of our lives were so touched by Neil. He was such a strong force in my life as a teenager. What a surprise to get to reconnect through facebook and find that he was able to knock me right off my feet like I was 15 again. I feel so blessed to have gotten to know him again. I will cherish his strength, loyalty, and love always.

Neil was a very special person and friend. My memories of him are filled with smiles and laughter. We shared many of the same friends, including Mike O'Shea. My deepest sympathy to Neil's family. Till we meet again, my friend!

Neil was my very special patient for almost three years. Despite his physical challenges, he was cheerful, loving and had a strong sense of faith. It was a privilege to care for him and I will always cherish his memory. My deepest sympathy to Neil's mother, his sister and all his family members.

Neil was a great friend to my brother Michael O'Shea back in the day. They are together again now as my brother passed 6/29/93 at the age of 26. May Neil RIP. My condolences to the family as 43 is very very young. From Theresa O'Shea Prestopino

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any man's death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
