Dr. Howard L. Neer

A great man, a leader in our Osteopathic profession, a visionary in Broward County, FOMA, and the AOA. He was a great friend to my father, supported my efforts to follow in my father's footsteps at CCOM and our Osteopathic family. He lived a life on honor, faith, and love! Peace to Mrs. Neer and his family.

Playing pool in the garage as a teenager. Doc was very good - seldom beatable! Pickles and braunschweiger.
Jumping the backyard fence and sprinting into the swimming pool before Duke caught you.
Quiet time in the house - Howard was napping.
Countless weekends in the Keys. Doc at the helm of the Bertram.
Tall, lean, and always in the baby blue bathing suit watching for the outriggers to pop.
The Cabana Club - giving me my first job and best years of my life living with Cindy and playing in the Keys.
Godfather to my son.
Coors. When you could only buy it in Colorado.
Sail on Doc. Calm waters, clear skies, and breathtaking sunrises.

What a wonderful man in all ways possible. So very generous even to those he barely knew. Howard will be greatly missed. What an awesome legacy! God Bless the family and we know Howard is rejoicing.....and teaching and doctoring.... in Heaven and paving the way until we all meet again.
Remembering the fun times in the Florida Keys. He loved his slice of paradise!
We Love you all! The Slama Family

I always enjoyed the times I was in Dr Neer's company. He was an individual who could gain your respect easily. His gentle manner served him and his patients well. My sincere condolences to the entire Neer family.
