Not sure what to say?

Very, very sad news. Neil was my best friend at Loyola School. He was brilliant, funny, a great pool player and my partner in teenage adventures which often got us in trouble with the good Jesuits at Loyola!

I remember the beach parties we threw in Old Field when his dad was out of town. He was 14 and I was 17. Rest in peace dear friend. Condolences to his family.

Just heard today about Neil's passing and am quite sorry to have heard. We were first cousins and I knew him well but haven't seen Neil in over 25 years.

Neil, hope you´re playing your Rickenbacker up in heaven. Maybe "Love is Four Letter Word". God bless you.

I will miss you Neil. I always enjoyed playing with you and Dick, back in the day.

Neil was both the smartest and least pretentious person I've ever met ( and happened to be my best friends Dad) Whether it was an open mic night at Bleecker street dive bar, chatting with him strumming a guitar, or eating cuban food in one of 'his places'- I enjoyed every second I got to spend with him. Immediately on meeting him I felt a sense of mutual love, respect and admiration for an adult ( which was rare for me as a child!) Sending love and strength to all the Louisons and Rasemans. May his memory be a blessing.

Our family will miss Neil´s kindness as a friend , and as a partner to Judith´s dearest friend,Kit.
It is so hard to deal with this loss.
