Neil was an immensely talented and creative person who loved art, architecture and creating sculptures, furniture, and model building. His love of the outdoors was enjoyed through hiking, canoeing and bird watching. All of which he passed on through his son and granddaughters. He loved old Fords, Miller Beer, a good vodka martini and a sense of ribald humor. Loved and respected by many he will always be remembered as a loving and devoted husband to Eileen, father to Troy (Kim), Grandfather to Kaitlin and Shannon, and great grandfather to Paige.

The family is planning to hold a celebration of life at a future date when larger gatherings are safer to attend. Those who wish may contribute to the Animal Friends Humane Society or the Cincinnati V.A.M.C.
