My condolences to your family. Neal was a big part of my life in high school, although that's a long time ago! Yet, it has always remained a close memory to my heart. Although our love lives moved on, Neal continued to show his generosity and care. Over the decades he surprised me with yellow roses, a happy new year phone call, and numerous birthday cards one special year! I pass on hugs to you, Nancy & Kris, through cyberspace; but wish I could give them to you in person. (Getting there for the funeral visitation from here in Saudi Arabia will be impossible). Please know that I care, share your sorrow, and trust my faith that Neal is being cared for by our Lord.

My most heartfelt condolences to Neal's family. I know you are going to miss him so very much.
I met Neal in August of 1981 and and from that day on I had a best friend and in August of 1985 we got married. Neal was one of the strongest and most gentle men I've ever known. He was funny but could also be very serious. He loved his family and friends very much and wasn't afraid to say or show it. Neal took pride in his job and never cut corners for the almighty dollar. He was a classy guy and I will miss him so very much. Although our marriage didn't last, our friendship did. Namaste, Neal.
Peace and love,
Bonnie

Neal was a great guy and I have many fond memories of hanging out and having good times together in high school. We didn't keep in touch in afteryears but occassionally we'd run into each other and he was always so sweet and friendly. I'm very sad to hear of his passing. Rest in peace Neal. My sympathy goes out to your family. So sorry Nance.
