Mindy, Spencer and family,

Neil was a devoted, loving cousin who was wholeheartedly invested in justice and deplored malicious,malevolent wrongdoers. He was a man of large stature in order to house his big heart. He is and will always be missed by those of us whose lives he touched and I was fortunate to share birthdays and holidays since I was born!

Neil was a great guy and a fabulous friend. It's sad for me to think that when I saw him last September will now be a fond memory though his cheerful smile will last forever. My heart goes out to Mindy and Spencer.
