I worked with Neil in the OR at MGH. He was always smiling and made my day easier. He was so very special. He had a way with the mentally challanged patients that really showed how truly sweet and caring Neil was. He never not helped when asked. I will miss his smile and his love for people. When he would catch me swearing I had to do push-ups and he never let me slide :-)
love Alison Lee

I'm so sorry to hear about Neil's passing. I did not know him as well as I knew his older brothers and sisters, but I remember that as a child, he had such a sweet, friendly smile, and it sounds like he was just as friendly when he was an adult. My condolences to the entire family.

I am still in shock to learn of Neil's passing. I met him on my first day at MGH in 1999. Every time I saw him he brightened my day. And not just mine... everyone's day! It was as if he was the hallway ambassador. His voice, eyes and smile...so warm! I didn't know him outside of work, and yet it was obvious how special he was. I can only imagine the loss felt by his family and friends. I am so sorry for your loss. Neil was the perfect reflection of kindness and generosity in spirit. Memory Eternal!
