Sorry to hear about this. He was phenomenal artist. I bought several prints from him. I also worked at base and talked with him from time to time. He was a really great person.

So sorry to hear of Neils passing. I have several prints and originals he produced. I loaned my mounted Ringneck Duck to Neil as a model for his 1987 Georgia Duck Stamp contest entry and bought his original for my collection. Prayers for the family.
