I have a real problem with the loss of my very good friend, Neil. We would spent an hour about every week chatting about music and other things, but always music. He made CD's just for me with my favorites. I miss him so much. Linda You are great and I know you had a lot of good times which now are memories to enjoy. Little Norah being one - Neil really enjoyed that little one. My prayers are with you always. Velta

Neil McCullough is my Big brother he was my best friend when we were younger he would take me every where he taught me to fish to build things he taught me to be a man he and I worked at our fathers lumber company side my side everyday. Neil was so smart he once built a horse trailer by hand in our back yard and he was a great furniture maker He lived in a small farm in Indiana and raised Tennessee walking horses I use to go there and help him work the farm he loved his horses he got me into the 4H club and I started showing my dog and he would show his horse we had so much fun together. Later in life he started getting into music something he loved but he always loved music and making music for other people. He and I would love to talk on the phone. He was a good man and so truthful and help me thought my life I will miss him but I feel he is in a better place now no more pain for my big brother. He will always be in my heart and soul and my thought for ever..
