It's been almost a month now since your passing. Although, no new memories can be made. You are greatly missed Neil. I remember when I lived in Spencer, around when I was four years old & you, along with Amber, would sometimes come over and play the Playstation with my father and I. You are greatly missed, rest in paradise.

Neil was my patient, he touched my heart so deeply. He always had a smile on his face and kind words to greet me with. I will never forget his smile and his love of life for his children. I visited him a week before he passed and he just smiled at me and asked how I was doing. I was in awe, I have learned a lot from this man, he was a very special man!

Neil will be remembered for his kind heart, his honest words and his beautiful smile. He was a wonderful friend, a caring babysitter and a role model to my children. His words will always be there in their hearts, acting as their conscience to continue to help them grow to be moral and happy adults. Thank you Neil for being that person to them and thank you to Neil's family for helping to make him who he was. Neil will be greatly missed as he was greatly loved.

My first memory of going to school in S-VE (2nd grade)was trying to find a spot to sit in the lunch room. Neil was already seated. He smiled up at me and asked Pat to move over so that I could have a place : ) That is how I remember him. Always smiling, laughing and joking but always to ready to stand up and be a friend. Knowing that you are with Jesus makes this easier because you are in a far better place than the rest of us. We have to wait our turn and you already finished the race.

Dear Neil,
I know wishes can come true and you are now looking down on us, holding us safe in your loving heart. I will never forget the first time I met you, with your beautiful son Ethan and your amazing fiance Angela, or the conversation we had in your final days. It is so very sad your dedicated efforts didn't work out the way we all had hoped, and that it ended up this way; it's comforting to know that in the end you embraced your destiny and your upcoming journey... I hope you are now at rest with your father and experiencing eternal peace. Until we meet again my friend you will be truly missed...
