Born October 15, 1935 in Humboldt Iowa, Neal put down his drafting pencil for the last time and passed away peacefully April 11th, 2025, at age 89. Survived by his wife Phyllis, the two were married in June of 1954, and were about to celebrate their 71st anniversary. An Army veteran, he served in a special division along with the Air Force called SCARWAF, and was stationed on the island of Eleuthera Bahamas. Since he was newly married, he and Phyllis were able to enjoy what they call an 8 month honeymoon on the island.
Discharged with honors, Neal went on to obtain an Architecture degree from University of Oregon and only practiced for the sake of his true passion and projects in real estate development - wheeling and dealing until his last days. He is also survived by his brother Earl in Adel Iowa, his three sons; Scott (and Karen) in Redmond Oregon; Greg (and Jennifer) in Beaverton Oregon; Eric in Redmond Oregon; along with five grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
