Not sure what to say?

Anita, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family now and in the days ahead. Neal and his family lived next door to my grandparents, the Gilkison's, on 10th St. I always saw and played with him every summer and Christmas when we would visit. The best year was in 7th grade when my family lived with my grandparents and we hung out all the time, playing tag in the park, building forts and having cookouts. What a wonderful guy! So many wonderful memories of him. He will be dearly...

Anita, My deepest sympathy to you and family. I grew up with Neal and we had a lot of wonderful times together. He will always be remembered dearly. God Bless you my Friend!

Nita - so sorry to learn of Neils fall and his untimely passing. Ill always remember him with you, as I never saw him without you. Prayers to you and family during this difficult time, also prayers for your recovery.

If theres a defining memory - its of a summer boating trip up north on the Rock River years ago passing under a railroad bridge, him riding in Jacesons boat. He stood up, reached and grabbed the bridge girder, held on for a minute or so for Judys boat to pass under...

Many fond memories of you Neal. I'm glad you found work at the funeral home. So glad you have a nice family and thank you for doing my delivery work over the years. God took you way-too-early Neal. I'll never forget learning from your Grandpa Nels how to make Pickled Herring & Silta & Head Cheese.
Rest In Peace Neal.
God's Blessings and His Peace to Neal's Family.

My heart goes out to Neal's whole family for your loss. Neal was a cool guy. We had a lot of fun together. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during this sad time. God bless you.

Thanks for the memories, Great guy.

Anita sorry for your loss! Myself and my family would like you to know that our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family! And may God give you the strength you need to get through this difficult time.

Neal and I played baseball together in the 70s. Havent talked to him in years. I cant forget the sweat dripping off his nose as he threw another screaming fastball! RIP my teammate.

Neal was kind to everyone and so fun and cheerful in his high school days! I wish I knew him as an adult! See you later Neal!!
