I used to play volleyball with and (mostly) against Neil. I remember him as a total sportsman and gentleman and very fun and easy to play with. My condolences to the family.

My deepest condolences to all the family and friends of Neil. I was a client of One Door for many years and had the good fortune to work with Neil on many projects. He was incredibly bright, talented and funny. He will be missed.
