Dear Family of Dr. Neault. I was so sorry to hear of his passing. Roger was a good friend and colleague of mine. I also went to the New England college of optometry. I practiced in Gardiner and Roger helped me get started. I also saw him frequently at the club Calumet. He was a great man and will be missed by all who knew him. You have my sympathy. Dr. James A. Michaud, O.D.
