Neil loved music. He loved the conversation and the sharing this page gave him over the years. He made several friendships over his years here. He shared his poetry and songs he wrote with like-minded individuals. I will miss him terribly but I know his spirit will live on. Ty to this community for all the support provided to him over the years with his various health issues he has faced. Hug your loved ones extra tight.

Neil and Chris were a great support to me when a close friend died about 15 years ago. Just thanks for being such wonderful people.
