Having acquired more education courtesy of the United States, Neil went on to become a computer technician, followed by his managerial duties at a local trading post and pizza parlor. Neil loved hunting, fishing, playing guitar, flying aircraft and brain-teasers. His sought-after sarcasm and satire were often centered around puns and politics. Ultimately, fostering others smile, happiness and laughter.
