Neil Eckenrode Sr.

When I got out of the USAF in 1973, I was hired by Continental Can Company (CCC) and Neil was my first boss. Neil was respected by everyone and was a wonderful role model. I was new to Baltimore, but Neil's love for it rubbed off on me. My wife and I bought our first home near Neil in Homeland. I was promoted to roles in Chicago and Cincinnati. While in Cincinnati, I travelled back on business to Baltimore and had dinner with Neil a few times. I'll never forget Neil and the great help he was...

Mike: Thank you for letting me know about your Dad's passing. I was greatly saddened - he was one of the dearest individuals I have had the pleasure of knowing. It would take a book to tell you what I thought of him, how he was always so caring of everyone, always a gentleman, so family-oriented, just a wonderful person. I will keep your Mom and the family in my prayers. What a tremendous loss I feel and what a privilege it was to work with him at CCC and call him my friend.

Neil----You and I went to TC together and also to our senior prom----Genie Dailey sent me an e-mail re: your dad-----My dad and yours actually worked together @ CCC or in some capacity------My condolences and know that your dad is in my prayers---I lost my dad 9 years ago and my mom almost a year ago-----Gone from this earth, but always in our hearts-----Again, my thoughts are with you at this time.
