Read MoreI caddied for Mr. Roney many times at Beverly Country Club, and even today I remember his many kindnesses. Some of my best experiences on the course were with Mr. Roney, and he helped develop my skills as a caddie--and my confidence as a person.

I did not know Neil as a man, but as a friend and classmate at St Barnabas Grade School. He was always polite back then, and I am sure he grew up to be a good husband and father. A whole group of us walked to and from school together, past his house. We are in the process of getting a 50 year grade school reunion together for next September and am very sorry he will be missed. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Mr. Roney was a great man. Not only was he the nicest man, but he was a role model to all the Beverly Country Club Caddies.

Mr. Roney was a GREAT guy, I really LOVED caddying for and talking to him. I have known him for a long time, ever since doing plays with his daughter Jenny. I wish I was not in Arizona so I could have made the wake and funeral. My thoughts and prayers are with the Roney family ALWAYS!

For the short time I knew him he was one of the nicest people I ever met. He was a pleasure to work with. I will miss him.

Neil was the nicest man we ever knew in a lifetime. His concern for everyone was genuine. He grew up with my brother, Artie and was his best friend. Neil was a selfless caring young man. We will all miss him. We are truly sorry for your loss. Mrs. Betty Hamer, Carolyn, Don, and Frankie Hamer, and the late Artie and Art Hamer.

Neil was a great guy and I will miss him. He'd come to visit me at Dick's State farm office always bringing a new story.
