I was so saddened to hear of Neil's death. As a neighbor and friend for many years, I enjoyed knowing Neil and will always remember our short visits when I passed by his home. He was a pleasure to know- a fine, honorable, & generous human being. He stood his watch well.
My Prayers to Andy and Meredith. May Neil and Kay rest in peace at Arlington.

Neil,
Rest in peace, you stood your watch well. Anchors Aweigh once more. With respect we splice the mainbrace.

Fair Winds and Following Seas, Commander. We have the Watch.
I have fond memories of Neil - such a great guy - who I have known since days at Will Rogers High School, It was a treat to reconnect with him a few years ago when he was inducted into the school's Hall of Fame. We shared interest in helping enrich the educational opportunities for today's students. His name will live on at our Alma Mater inscribed on a memorial brick, a beautiful park bench and in the Hall of Fame display on the campus..
Prayers are lifted for Neil's family for strength, comfort and peace.
