When I attended my first QB meeting as a guest, Neil was one of the first QB's to shake my hand a welcome me. I was really impressed about his genuine friendly warmth. Our friendship lasted over 30 tears when Neil made his final take off heading west. Thank you for all the memories Neil. Chuck Hagen

Its hard to believe you left us three years ago my dear friend. Each month at our Quiet Birdmen meeting we toast our great friends who have gone west. You are one of those that always comes to my mind as you were a true great friend. We miss you!

Neil was first a patient of mine many years ago. I always talk to my patients and because of that I got to know Neil pretty well. He was a pilot. My amazing partner Bruce was a pilot too. I was instrumental in these two amazing men getting together and becoming friends as well as QB members. Neil was one of the most amazing human beings I have ever known in my life. How I will miss him. More than words could ever say.
Rest in peace my magnificent friend. Bruce loved you. And so do I.

I am so sorry to learn of Neil's passing. What a smart, interesting and magnificently experienced person. I will miss our conversations at Pat's Pizza. Neil was a flying ACE, but now he really has his wings! Blessings to his family and his soul.

Neal was a good friend and a great humorist person even if that is a word. He was so funny all the time. I have know this man for many years, he's my brothers father in law. I loved seeing him every week on Wednesday at Lisa pizza after our bowling team played, he was always there sitting at the bar, and i always got a hug and kiss.. He was such a very nice man. I am so sorry for his passing, but he wont suffer any more. He is a piece, with no pain.

Neal was a fellow Quiet Birdmen who I am honored to have had as a dear friend for many years. Neil was a true Quiet Birdmen, as to be one you must be a pilot with a certain number of hours but most importantly you must be a good fellow and that he was. As you pick up your heading of 270 and climb to altitude my dear friend may you have clear skies and a strong tailwind. Rest in peace dear friend.

Nancy and Family, it has been a treasure to know Neil and you Nancy, to do legal work for Futura Stone. Got to know Diane and Greg when we played softball for the Scarborough Jaycees and Rec League Basketball had lunch with Neil and his Brother Don at Pat's Pizza, we talked about our military experiences, Neil's flying, about losing Linda too young and Grandchildren. hope the wonderful memories make these times just a little easier.

I am Nickole Marie Lotti daughter of Donna Bowser Lotti. My grandfather was a strong ,smart,family oriented man. He had a great work ethic and installed it in each of us. He was old fashioned and stern at times,but he taught me about value and respect.
He loved my grandmther nancy with all his being. The both of my grandparents gave me the good qualities in my self.
I love them both very much and Im glad he is not layong in a hostipal bed
If anyone one knew Neil Boswer they know he had to always be working or helping with transportation with family members ,he could not be still.
I am at peace knowing he lived a full happy life. He loved all his children,grandchildren ,great grandchildren and even great great grand children .To me and others he is an icon rip.grampa.
Love Nikki.

I always looked forward to visiting with Neil, usually at our QB meetings. I'll never forget the return trip from our BGR meeting that was cut a little short due to an engine failure. Neil safely parked his airplane in a farmer's field in Hampden on a moonless night. Thanks to his choice of a landing spot and his cool response when the upper branches of a tree started pounding the wings, four souls walked away with zero injuries. Cleared for take off on 27. Maintain runway heading. Altitude at your discretion. God speed Neil.
