Todd & Tyler...Your dad was a favorite teacher of many, including myself. I still remember the great times and "lessons" in his classroom, and his enthusiastic encouragement on all the shoebox dioramas I used to bring in!. For good memories to be so fresh in so many peoples thoughts..., he made a positive impact in a great many people. Your family is in my thoughts. Rex.

My sincere sympathy and condolences to the family. I will always remember Neil with fondness. I taught with him at Valley View. He had an effervescent smile and a sparkle in his eye when we spoke of music, the subject I taught. Neil would often add a story or two to go along with that smile. I am truly sorry for your loss.
