Good bye for now, Neil. You were one of our favorite fellow ushers at First Baptist Church way back in the 1960s. We enjoyed such a good time with this and other Church things. You were my team captain in the Bulldog Foundation and that was fun. Neil was just a very fun guy and easy to get along with. He was a man of God and honest as the day is long. HE was loved by many. I pray God will bless his family and give them all comfort and Christs love.
