Not sure what to say?

Neil or "Dutch" was so nice & funny too. Always a smile on his face when he greeted you. He did a great job playing taps at the Memorial Day Remembrance Ceremony in South Holland for years... He will definitely be missed this year. What a Blessing this man was to so many...
Condolences & Prayers for his family as you grieve such a huge loss.

Much sympathy to the Venhuizen-Beezhold-Martin families. Will always remember him playing his bag pipes in Gayle’s back yard.

Neil was a bandmate in the SYKB and a friend, as well. His enthusiasm was contagious and his commitment unrivaled. One terrific guy!

Neal was a fixture for the SYKB, spending countless hours not only playing, but also as Quartermaster. He will be truly missed by all members. Rest in peace.
