Neal E. Stremming

How can you not be drawn in...by a lighthouse.

Neal Stremming was just that... and he shared his light in so many simple ways; listening, laughing, supporting, sharing conversation, and telling stories...by being there. His was a faithful, strong and steady light that welcomed, warmed and guided. Who can forget the beacon of his smile...I'm thankful he left it here for his family and friends to treasure.

He was a wonderful role model and I will always be grateful...

Dear Arliene, Bill and Kate,
So sorry to hear of Neal's death. I am forwarding the information to Jeff (outside Washington DC) and Heidi (serving in Iraq). Please know our prayers and thoughts are with you all. Mike and Edie Hoyle(formerly of Bay City)

Richard and Norm,

I was saddened to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Wally, we are sorry for your loss. You and Gayle are in our thoughts and prayers.

I wonder how many games of basketball and scrub baseball we played during our youth. Neal's front yard in Evansville was our baseball and football field, and he had the best basketball court in the neighborhood. I didn't have much time with Neal in the last 40 years, due to the distance between our homes but we were sure close during our childhood. You will always be a part of my good memories of my my boyhood Neal.
