Neil McMartin

I always enjoyed Neil's conversations and his mild manners and empathy towards others. I missed him and wanted to see him, only to learn today about this sudden loss.

To the Family of Neil:
I remember Neil aa a shy plausible person, always ready to conversate. Neil was geneous too, he invited us to his home and join the festivaties of "Winter Carnavil" but like most of us we never made it. Memories are an integral part of life and as we reflect on past memories we can find pleasure in life as it was many years ago.
