I worked with Neil one day when he came to fill in for one other techs who had called out. He was such a nice guy. He was so sweet and had a great personality. It breaks my heart that this happened.

To Our Dear Family,
We are so sorry to hear about this sudden news. All of our prayers and thoughts are with you all.. Neil was a wonderful young man and he will never be forgotten because he lives on in all of our hearts and our memories.

Martha and family,
You and your family are in my prayers. I taught Neil when he attended Pearl Sample. He was an excellent student and so respectful. My best memory of him was when he presented his "Hero" interview. He dressed up as Albert Einstein and presented such a great interview at the back-to-school night presentations. He did get his picture in the Star Exponent, and I hope you got a copy from back then. I knew he would go on to do something related to the science field. His passing is just a great loss for all of us. May God's love comfort you at this difficult time.

Neil was a good friend of our son who is also in pharmacy school in Richmond. He was one of the first of Karl's friends we met at their White Coat Ceremony and they spent many hours together as students and fraternity brothers.
As parents, please know that we share in your unimaginable grief. The loss of a son and good friend to so many is hard to understand. We pray for God's comfort and peace for your family as well as Neil's many good friends who will never forget him.
