I was sorry to read about the passing of Neil. We worked in the same department at Arvin-Meritor (Rockwell) for 20 to 25 years.
He was always saying something funny that would make you laugh. I was saying that I was going to visit him but never did. I wish now that I had because he was truly a great person.

Sorry to hear of Neil passing. Neil and my mother graduated from Frazeysburg High School in 1940. He was so good to my mother as he would take her to lunch and take her places with him. It got her out of the house and they enjoyed each others company. After my mother passed away we would sometimes see him at Krogers. I will never forget what he done for my mother, Elsie Howard. He was GOD sent. I want to let you know how I appreciated his kindness to my mother. May GOD comfort you in this time of sorrow and know Neil was a very special person. Ralph & Linda Howard
