I am very sorry to learn of Neal's passing. Knowing Neal, I am sure that he fought a hard battle with cancer.

Stay strong and support each other.

On behalf of Neal's many friends in the class of 1960 at Division Avenue High School in Levittown, NY, let me extend our condolences.

Corky, as many knew him, was one terrific young man and always a joy to know. He was a fine student, athlete and person.

He is well remembered.

Dear Stephanie. I sent a note a few days ago, so hope you got it. Corky was the best of all the cousins. Just like his Dad.
Much love,

A Butterfly Lights Beside Us

A butterfly lights beside us, like a sunbeam...
and for a brief moment it's glory
and beauty belong to our world...
but then it flies on again, and although
we wish it could have stayed,
we are so thankful to have seen it at all.
