Neil Cassidy Obituary
A true transplant from L. I.to Manhattan, and then for the past 20+ years to Sunnyside, Queens, Neil was longtime Senior Copy Editor for American Banker, were he was a valued and experienced colleague.
A consummate bibliophile, movie buff, avid Knicks and Yankees fan, Neil was most at home in his Sunnyside neighborhood, where he walked daily to his favorite spots.
Neil is predeceased by his sister Kathy. He is survived by sister Maureen, niece Eden Benard and brother-in-law James Benard. He is also survived by brother Brian, nephews Shaun and Christopher, and niece Michelle Cassidy.
A private remembrance will be observed by his family.

So sad to hear this. Neil was the sweetest and funniest person. Met him while working together at Burger King. So many happy memories. Bike rides big red and little yeller. Love you Neil.

I saw Neil back in May and we had a good chat. He was a great guy. I'm so sorry for his passing.
