Neill Connor was one of the kindest, most generous men I´ve ever met. While being naturally quiet, Neill was also naturally humorous. If you were in his company, you were going to have a great time. Thank you, Mr. Connor, for your kindness as a co-worker, your constant service to this community and all the fun times at ECU football games. You are an all-time great of Wilson, NC and will be sorely missed.
