It is with dismay and sadness that I think of Neil's passing. My deep condolences to you and your family as you grieve Neil's untimely death. I have you very much in my thoughts during these painful days for you, Ethan, and Aaron.

I will always remember his sense of humor, generosity, and kindness.
