Not sure what to say?

Joe was the wrestling coach when I started at New Milford High in 1988. You could tell that he was already tuning a respected program and the athletes knew they could trust him. He was very helpful to me in getting my program off on the right path. Thank you Coach Neff, you will be missed.

Mr. Neff was a fantastic wrestling coach. He laid the foundation for NMHS´ accomplished wrestling program. I´ll always remember him yelling "On the line!" when it was time for sprints across the upstairs gym.

My sincere condolences.

My sincere condolences to Kathleen and the entire Neff Family. Best of the best! Will hold on to the memories of our visits. Fighter to the end! Save me some M&M Rest in Peace Sir Sydney Page

I was so sorry to hear of Joe´s passing. Joe umpired softball games for quite a few years. He really enjoyed working the 8u machine games for both girls and boys games. I enjoyed working games with Joe and have a lot of fond memories of them. He was bigger than life and a great guy. He will be really missed.

Much respect for Joe; his contribution to wrestling in CT was significant. Condolences to his family. He will be missed.

We are so sorry for the Neff family loss. It´s hard to imagine Joe has left us too soon. We met Joe and Kathy and family some time after we moved to New Milford. The families became friendly and frequently got together socially for picnics, pool parties, holiday parties, dinner, concerts, sports events, family events, you name it. The friendship has lasted since then including after we moved away from New Milford. Joe was always quick to laughter and enjoyed life which made him fun to be...

My condolences to the entire Neff family. I had Mr. Neff as my architectural drafting teacher in my freshman and sophomore year of high school about 8 years ago. I credit him for sparking my interest in architecture and real estate which has led to the job I have now. I will always remember that he nominated me for an excellence in architectural drafting award which was the first award I had ever received in school and one I was very proud of. His classes were the ones I looked forward to...
