Dear Linda and Family,

I was so sad to hear of Neil's passing my heart and prayers are with you all. He was a great man and I will always remember my special relationship with him at Ames. I started at Ames as a kid and I learned so much from working with him in the production office. (the good old days) Again, I am so sorry for your loss.

Sincerely,
Jody DeGregorio/Riccardi
