Neil and I attended Heights Temple around '66 and '67 - 7th and 8th grade, although I did not go to Cleve. Heights High. Neil befriended me at Temple, and I remember his warmth and kindness. I was saddened and shocked to hear of his passing at such a relatively young age. He will be deeply missed.
My deepest sympathies,

Ruthy and Family~
My first memories of Neil were as a customer @ Amigo's Mexican Restaurant 20 years ago...along with his loving family/ Elliot and his family. 15 years ago he became my lawyer and friend. I just found out today that he passed, I am soo sorry about your loss. I can completely relate about your loss because I lost my father to mesothelioma cancer last July. Neil was an outstanding human and I just wish I could have paid my last respects to him. My prayers are with you....

I know this is very late but I just found out about Neil's passing from reading the UT alumni magazine. I was a counselor with him at Camp Wise. He gave me the nick name "Gairsh" He was a great guy to everyone. Love to his family.

I knew Neil in Jerusalem. I remember going with him to Jam sessions by the old city. He loved the music but most of all he loved Ruthy. May god be with you and your family.
