Sympathies to all of your family. Art and I really liked and enjoyed being with Neil. He was a feisty individual and lived life the way he thought it was to be lived. Right was right and wrong was wrong. He never held back with his ideas about anything when we were with him. I had the connection with Neil through teaching with him and of course there was the family connection. Thinking of all of you as your various family memories are shared.
