Mr and Mrs McNeil were two of the kindest and loving people I´ve ever had the chance to know and spend time with. I worked as Personal Assistant to the Mcneils for a short time, loved spending time with them, and hated to leave when my time was up. Thank you Victoria for giving me the chance to be with them.

Although I only met Mr. McNeil three or four times, helping him to connect to the "resident geneaologist" on Barra, he made an indelible impression. He was inquisitive,thoughtful,interested beyond himself and so courteous. His profuse thanks extended well beyond my paltry efforts to assist. I can imagine how much he is missed and I offer my condolences to his family and close friends.

I worked for McNeil Lab for 26 years in Fort Worth, TX. Retiring in 1980.
I had many conversations with Bob and had a lot of respect for him. I am also a descendent of the McNeil clan. I am from the brother that settled in North Carolina. Bob and I had lots to talk about. My sincere condolences to the family, Walter Bauguess

I had the privilege and honor of knowing, and working for, Mr McNeil from 1990-92. He was man of outstanding character, a man of integrity, and one of the kindest men I have ever known. Indeed, I have to amend that to say he was the kindest person I have ever known, and I shall always treasure my conversations with him and the blessings of having been in his company. The world is truly a lesser place now that he has left us. May his memory be eternal.
