The passing of Neil has saddened me greatly. The pastor described Neil has having a big heart and an aid to all; this was very true. I sat remembering how he often offered a comforting hello, smile or infectious laugh that somehow made everything all better. My thoughts and prayers are with the O'Connor family. This Easter will be a special one knowing that Neil is celebrating everlasting salvation with the resurrected Lord and that he has traded his Eagles wings for angels wings. Eternal rest be unto you. (SMHS '88)

Mr. and Mrs. O'Connor I was so very sorry to hear about Neil. I have many fond memories of Okie. Over the past few days many of us have been on the phone swapping stories about Neil and all the fun times we had together growing up. He was well liked by all who knew him.
