I worked with Neil for many years at Celotex. He always had a smile for everyone. He was a kind man with a calm demeanor. To Neil's family: We pray your hearts will be filled with peace as God's Spirit surrounds you with His love.

I knew Neil a long time and he was an outstanding person. I saw him last year and in spite of the cancer was his optimistic self. He will be missed. Condolences.

I knew Neil when I worked with Celotex. He was always so kind and always had a smile on his face. Was a great friend to everyone he met.
My sympathy and prayers go with his family at this time.

I've known Neil for 40 or more years at the various companies of Jim Walter Corp. He was always smiling and never a bad word about anyone. He was a member of our "Lunch Bunch" that met quarterly at (usually) The Bahama Breeze. We've missed him since he moved to Georgia last year. Always happy and always smiling is how I'll remember him.
Godspeed ole buddy!

So very sorry to hear of Neal's passing! I worked with him at Celotex. He referred to me as his "birthday buddy." So as I celebrate my birthday tomorrow, Lord willing, I will eat a piece of cake for him and remember a truly great guy! My sincerest sympathies go out to the family! May The Lord grant you comfort at this time and in the days ahead.
