I have only known Neil for the past five years as part of a South Side Zoom group . I am glad to have had this opportunity.
He shared stories and memories from Bowen High School and, at times, added a zinger or two.
Neil was kind and funny with what he shared. I will miss getting to know him better.
May his memory be for a blessing.

I’ve known Neal for over 50 years. He & I worked for the Railroad Retirement Board. While working, several of us had lunch every Thursday. After retiring, Neal organized a monthly breakfast with some former coworkers at the Omega Restaurant in Niles. Lots of memories & laughs. GREAT guy & a trusted friend. I will miss Neal dearly.

I’ve always had fond memories of Neil and his welcoming me into his home. He was a gracious host. Memories of dinner at his and Carol‘s home, walks in the Morton Arboretum, smelling the flowers and looking at the tanks at Cantigny, dinner at Meson Sabika and the Riverwalk in Naperville, and of course, his secret parking spaces when visiting Ravinia.. He will certainly be missed.
