My heart goes out to you in this time of grief. Neil was a sincere and caring person. I always enjoyed going to lunch with him. He would show me Kansas City landmarks. He was always there for me in times of need. He volunteered many unselfish hours for Vietnam Veterans of America. I worked with him at Bingo for many years and he always went the extra mile. The last time I seen him, was last year in the hospital. He has found his peace. My prayers and thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

Neil, your demons from Vietnam are finally quiet. You were always a wealth of knowledge and I will miss your friendship and our talks. If only someone would have listened to us...we could have solved the world problems!
