James Neil McAleer

I met him at Dene Court (Fred Clarke's Home) whilst he was there researching in conjunction with Fred. Neil was staying in a Pub in Bishops Lydeard and I gave him a lift there. Neil came across to me as a Great Guy. Arthur inspired me to write when I visited him in Sri Lanka. He was my Friend. I published a book entitled "Two Left Shoes" one year ago.

We'd be grateful if the person(s) administering Neil's estate would urgently get in contact. Please leave a message through our website: ashgrovepublishinglondon.com We have some (potentially) good news.

What a great friend. A big age difference between us but we were good friends along with my husband. He was a character

Neil was a fine man, I would appreciate a member of the family contacting me as I am the publisher of his (revised) edition of Arthur C. Clarke's biography.

A memorial service for James Neil McAleer will be held at Arlington National Cemetery May 9, 2024 at 11:00 AM. Attendees should arrive 45 minutes prior to start of service.

I´m saddened this morning to learn of the death of this friend and professional literary partner. Neil found me through my own online efforts in praise of Arthur C. Clarke, then approached me about 2004 while seeking research-and-writing assistance. That effort ultimately became the final authorized biography of the late science/sci-fi writer, who passed in 2008. Over the course of our work, I became the manuscript´s editor and contributed a considerable amount of text, including one...

My Uncle Neil brought his contagious smile wherever he went. Gregarious, articulate and interesting; he always had a story to share and a twinkle in his eye. Rest In Peace, dear Uncle... Your happy energy will be missed by all blessed to breathe your air

Neil was a great brother.

Being Neil's cousin, I had very little contact. But my brother Steve would visit him. Age 80 is a little young for the McAleer stock. But @ age 65 today, I'll be happy to make it that far. My cousin "sleepeth" as Jesus said awaiting "the power of his resurrection."
As Neil understood the heritage of the McAleer family whose origins came from the Aleer family in the Scottish islands off the west coast, I made a 'Coat of Arms' in honor of our family origin.
