As the current president at NHTI, I did not have the good fortune to work with Neal, but his reputation and memory remain strong at the college. We bless him for all his great good deeds, and we share our sadness with his circles of love that he is no longer with us physically. But he lives on in all of those he touched with his love and care.

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints" - Psalm 116:15. Neal will be deeply missed, our thoughts and prayers for Linda and Neal's children in this time of loss. I have known him for nearly 45 years and he has been a faithful friend. He was a true friend. My kids grew up calling him "Uncle Neal" as he was one of their "foundational people" as my daughter expressed.

I grew up on Canaan St with the Lesters, Russ, Neal and Sheri. They were older then I was, but we were all good friends. Enjoyed the Friday nite dances at the Methodist Church on Canaan, St. Neal was always a happy guy, and nice to visit with. My thoughts and prayers to his family. Ron Filfalt
