Just read about Stick´s demise in the Radford University´s Alumni Magazine. Been many years since I have seen him but I was a bit startled to see his obituary. Many good memories and stories from those years. Best wishes.

I just found out about Stick's passing, and I would like extend my deepest sympathies to Neal's family. Stick always had a smile on his face and was one of the nicest people I met at Radford. My best memory is of Stick going up to sneak a dunk pre-game prior to the dunk becoming legal in college, with a big grin on his face. My best to all his family and friends.

Although it's been 7 or so years since I last saw Neil, he was always a friendly face in the crowd for me. I recall when his boys were little and would come up to the Fiddlers' convention, and Neil's Old Blue schoolbus. Great times together back in the day at Roger & Cindy's epic pig roasts; lots of laughs as well as good conversation about all kinds of things. Neil was fun, friendly, smart, and LOVED. As kindred tall people, we always had our height in common. Neil and Roger were tons of fun, and the two of them would never let a person leave camp hungry or feeling unwelcomed.
So now I'll say so long, Neil. I know we'll meet again one day, and I hope you're sharing a story and laugh with all who've gone before you. Rest easy, friend, please rest easy.

I just now learned of Neil´s passing and am heartbroken for his family and friends. I had known him well years ago, as the college roommate and close friend of his first wife, Marjorie, and in fact, lived with them for several months way back when. Please accept my deepest condolences as I am truly sorry.
