Neil was a father image to me and a mentor. He taught me what it meant to be a man of God, a husband, and a father. He taught me skills from roofing and cabinet making to driving a farm tractor. He taught me through example to pray and patiently wait on the Lord. I have shared with my sons and other young men, the things I learned from Neil. His legacy goes on.

Dave and I are very sorry to hear about the loss of your dear husband, father and sibling. We so appreciated Neil's shepherding of the CBC flock during our time there. We rejoice with you that Neil is now whole and with His Savior whom he served so well. We mourn with your family as you miss his presence on this earth. May the Lord comfort each of you as only He can, giving peace and grace for the moments and days ahead.
