Jack L. Neal

Amen.

The best band teacher ever
Jack changed my life when I started in his band playing trumpet. He made me become better than I ever imagined I could be. He made us grow so much in 3 years that to this day I still sit in my basement and play my trumpet to relax
He will be remembered by many for years to come

My heartfelt condolences go out to the Neal family. Mr. Neal was one of the teachers that changed my life in a positive way. Being in Mr. Neal's band opened up a whole new world for me. I loved his class and remember sobbing at 9th grade graduation knowing I'd never get to bring him coffee again. I adored that man.

Dear Anne & Family,
We would like to send our deepest sympathy and love to all of you. I was out of town when you had the service and couldn't attend. You are all in our hearts and thoughts. We hope your memories of Jack and the fine person Jack was will carry you through this difficult time.
Much love, Doris amd Phil Scott

To my dearest family,

some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me...

To the Neal Family,

My entire Family was touched by your husband and father, Jack Neal. What an inspiration, patient, incredible man. He brought us from noise making, honking on the instruments to truly music making musicians.
The Hoshi Family will forever be thankful and blessed by his unselfish sharing of his musical talents,love for teaching, his students and music.
May God bless your family. I know he is with the angels setting up a musical arrangement somewhere.

OMG, 1972...Liza Ursich and I getting Mr Neal a coffee cake from the Dana jr High cafeteria. Playing Chicago on the piano. Loved the band room and Mr Neal! I miss him already.

Dear Neal family
I had your dad clear back in the 7th grade 1967 or so! I only had him for the one semester, but I remember him as being very kind to me and very handsome. I am so sorry for your loss and will always remember him with fondness. God Bless you all.

I was so sorry to hear of Mr. Neal's passing. I knew him when he subbed at Dana Middle School. I was always happy to work with him. He was a very kind man, and always remembered my name when I would see him at school. I know he enjoyed his retirement in Palm Springs. Keeping his family in my prayers.
