I had the pleasure of working with Mr Neely at his dairy farm. He was a great person and I am very sad to learn of his passing. I learned a lot from him while at the dairy and I will forever be grateful for the time I knew him.

Lou and David, I had been reminding myself that I needed to call your Dad because we usually touched base' every 2 or 3 months. I am so sorry to hear of his death. Your Dad and Mom had been dear to us for so many years60+!

We just heard about Roy's passing. He was a big part of Logan's life for many years. All the years at Roy Roy Dairy. He learned so much working with him. No one could work harder than Roy and Logan together. He was a force to be reckoned with. I will never forget watching Precious the cow sell in Fort Worth. It was a proud moment for Roy. Our sympathy and thoughts to David and Lou and their families and also to his wife Doris.

Late May, 1944 - Roy and I met in Milner Hall, a part of E Company Infantry. Time has passed and things have changed. It will be my pleasure to answer, "Here" when Roy's name is called at Muster. Rest in peace, my friend from years long past.

My sincere condolences to your family in this moment of sorrow.

Oh my gosh!! I just found out about Mr. Neely today(12-31-17). He has faithfully come to Burger King every day for 2 years for breakfast. A junior burrito and a small coffee with his discount for a total of $2.14. I loved seeing him everyday. He always had a smile on his face and a pep in his step. I will miss him. Vanessa Chandler


From everyone at Burger King #4086 on Midkiff and loop 250 in Midland Texas, you will be greatly missed Mr. Neely

Hearing of Roy's passing deeply affected me, as we visited often with each other - either in person or by telephone. Our conversations always in some way touched on family and our affection for its members. His death was a shock to me as well as I'm sure it was to others. Rest in Peace Dear Roy!!!
