I will always remember Neil as the patient and calm and sincere man who God brought to me to help guide me. Neil was a light that I was drawn to and his happiness and joy during times of stress and frustration and work. Neil gifted me a book I have kept to this day and read "Jesus Calling" by Sarah Young This was the key and guide to happiness and peace Neil told me. I will always remember and appreciate Neil Dalby as the man who helped me turn my life to following Christ in hopes of being a better happier version. I will truly miss Neil and am sad we won't be able to do our Men's Fellowship get together at church but am at peace knowing who he is with and that I will see him again.

My thoughts and prayers to Marsha and his family during this time. May the Lord provide you peace and comfort during this time.

I am so sorry to hear of Neils passing. I worked for many years with Neil at Nissan Forklift and he was one of my favorite co-workers, always made me laugh, a real gentlemen and stand up guy. Wishing his family peace during this difficult time.

I just learned of Neils passing. My sincere condolences to his entire family. Neil and I were good friends in middle school and high school, and we were roommates for a short period in 1980 but slowly lost touch after that. He was a great and loyal friend and well thought of both within our band of high school brothers and throughout the school. His humor, intelligence, honesty and integrity were evident even then. It did not surprise me to read that he continued to be a big sports fan throughout his life - I remember Neil as an enthusiastic athlete. I fondly recall those summers, playing informal baseball games with Neil together with the guys, as well as playing endless games of 500 with Neil at his parents house. I remember him as a very powerful hitter who could pretty much always call his shots. We also played one-on one football together and had great football games with the guys, including a couple of memorable games in the fall at Thorntons sod farm. It also does not surprise me that Neil retained an interest in cars I recall Neils pride in his first car bought from his father, and how much he enjoyed several el Caminos - including his favorite Golden Olden. I recall our canoe trips to Wisconsin, working together as baggers at Eagle Foods, and experiencing country music for the first time - hearing Johnny Cash records at his parents house, and countless other memories of youth with Neil. I will miss him.

Neil was that special guy who could run with the big dogs one minute, or get down on the floor and play with the kids the next. The world lost a good one.
