Not sure what to say?

What a great friend, musician, Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia Brother, and all around good buddy one could count on to be there. Lots of great memories making music together, or just hanging out listening to tunes in Woodrow Manor. Then there were the late night runs to the Hot Shot, or to get doughnuts, or just wondering when Hyder's opens for business. Rest well my friend "Nefarious Neil" (as he called himself back then) or "Bombur" (as some others referred to our buddy and friend Neil).

Neil was a great guy. Me and Warren Haynes (plus others) were in a band called Bourbon Street back in the late 70's. He could "hang" whatever you were playing. Awesome memories. <

My Condolences to Neils family. Such a talented musician and good friend. Many happy memories!

Neil was definitely one of my mentors as a musician, and we played hundreds of gigs together as a horn section back in the '70s and '80s. He was an extremely kind person and awesome trumpeter!! Condolences to all of his family and friends.

To the family, I am sorry to hear the news about your loss. May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn" sustain your family during this challenging time. Isaiah 61:1,2

My condolences to the family. May the wonderful memories of your loved one comfort you until God's promises are fulfilled. Matthew 5:5
