Not sure what to say?

Did Neill Yarborough do military service in UK, in 1940s from USA. My father was friends with a Neil Yarborough, and I wondered if this could the same person.

Col. Yarborough has been a member of the Bossier Chamber of Commerce since 1969. We will miss him greatly with his regular visits and attendance at chamber annual events. Thank you Colonel for your wisdom and being one of our historians.

I'll always remember Neil as a mentor and friend in the Bossier City Lions Club. Suggesting what ought to be done next, he introduced me to the LA Lions Eye Bank he co-founded. He's probably preparing a history book on Heaven, and it ought to be a great read. See ya later Neal.

Neill was a great friend to Bossier High School. A;ways there to provide a scholarship to a student going to SAU. The "Bearkats" will miss you.

If tears could build a stairway,
And memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to Heaven
And bring you home again.

Deeply Missed,
