He served in the United States Navy from 1969-1973 and was stationed at the NAS in Albany, Georgia. He was proud to serve on the USS Enterprise.
He served on the Hamburg School board for several years and was instrumental in getting the first computers into the classroom.

Neil had a lifelong passion for photography, an exuberant sense of humor and a love of the outdoors. He is well remembered as a vibrant part of the many communities he has served over the years.
Neil is survived by his wife of 57 years, Aimee L. Nilsen, his daughter, Angelique Kobylinski and her husband Jack and daughters, Aimee K. Nilsen and Heather Nilsen.
