Bob + all the Mahoney relatives, I had the pleasure of meeting Neil on few occasions and I thought his best characteristic was his sense of humor. I know he would say to keep moving forward and enjoy your life to the fullest like he did with his life for almost 8 decades.

You were so loved and I will always remember you and all you did for so many of us you helped me in my hardest time rip Neal may you be at peace love you

Neil was one of the first people who welcomed us when Joe and I moved to Westfield in 1999. Our friendship with him and MJ filled the 6 years we lived in Westfield with so many fond memories. They were both such generous, unselfish human beings. I'll always remember him.

I am so gonna miss Neil. He understood my sarcastic complaining. Always made me smile!

I am so very sorry for your loss. It was an honor to know Neil and I will always have fond memories of him. Peace and love to your family during this tough time.

So sorry to hear of your passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

The messages sent and received are treasures forever. Thanks Neil.
