Neil and I attended Northeast Jr. High. He was an athlete, an academic scholar and a gentleman. He was dear to me and others. My sincere condolences to his wife and entire family.

So sorry for the loss of Neil. I just had spoken to Neil a few weeks ago about a new project he was looking at and everything seemed fine. Neil was a wonderful person and we shared stories about Husker football. Please accept my sympathy. Steven R. Knapp
