Dear David and LaVonne, I am so sorry for the loss of your dear father. I had never met Paul but had met his brother Jacque at my marriage to Neal. Jacque and his brother David were cousins to Wilbur (Neal's Dad).

I am so sorry. I know you shared our sorrow and then continued on to your own personal sorrow. I didn't know him except through Byron, Molly, and kids. I always heard such good things. God Bless!

I will never forget in 1973 when I called him after business hours because of a sick puppy.......Dr. Neff put the puppy down but I will always remember his care and compassion..... to the puppy and to us.

My Unc. Never to busy to listen to you. Remenber the "cow calls" he'd speed me away with him, to help a farm animal in distress. Go-carting in Sheboygan with Cuz David (Zorro). Hikes in the Kettle Moraine and Mauthie Lake Area. Treking to the top of Table Mountain, encountering rattle snakes along the way. Exploring old silver mines while Auntie El read a book in the car, panning for gold and finding some. He knew where to look. Just a few of the wonderful memories I had with this special man. We all will miss him.

"Uncle Paul" was an amazing person to have in my life growing up. I'll always remember him encouraging me to read, and the birthday cards he sen me. My days visiting his clinic as a child make up some of my favorite childhood memories.
He will be greatly missed.

We are so sorry for your loss. Dr. Neff was our vet starting in 1974 until he retired. He was a gentle, caring man. I still think of him often.
