Not sure what to say?

Duffie Children,
Sorry to hear of your Neil's passing. With Neil, and your Mom as well, Neskowin benefited from folks who cared and knew how to make things happen. We will miss them. Our condolences to your families.

Janet and Duff - I'm so sorry to see in the paper that your father has passed away. I know he was a much admired and loved father and grandfather. I am thinking of you two and your 3 children during this time.

Neil represented to us the real core values and integrity of Western Kraft and Willamette Industries. We always enjoyed seeing him at the MAC.
With deepest respect and sympathy,

Duff, John and Jean, I was sorry to see the news about your dad in the paper today. It was nice to see his picture and remember what a twinkle he always had in his eyes. He accomplished so much in his life, and you three are the best part of that. My parents are in New Zealand for a month with Paula and family. I know they will be sorry to miss the service. My thoughts are with you.

I'm sending our most heartfelt sympathies to you. Working with Neil for several years had been one of the highlights of my working career. He was as much admired and respected by the employees in the shop as he was by management.

My memories of Neil are renewed every time I pass through Albany which is several time a month. They always bring a smile to my heart.

John, You'll know what I mean.

Mary Potter and her children, Robert and Sarah Potter, send their sympathies and wish the family the best.

Our condolences on the passing of your father and grandfather. He touched many through his own hands and those of his children. May his memory be as a blessing.
