My deepest sympathies to you Linda, Skip, Sarah and Lizzy. I truly will forever fondly remember all the breakfasts and all of the time I spent with my friend Neil. All of the baseball stories and the characters of the game, and most of all his friendship!
Many have said it before me, but Neil was one of the greatest people I have ever had the pleasure to know and I'm better for having that opportunity.
