Neal was my very good friend from 1972 when we met on a bus on our way to learn to fly gliders in Penhold Alberta. I will cherish my memories and miss my friend.

We were all shocked and saddened to hear of Neal's sudden passing. He was such a joy to work with. He would always keep us smiling with his quick wit and jokes. Let's not forget the 16+ Messages on the printer to have his hot beef sandwich (Side of fries & gravy) ready and waiting for him when he arrived, and in turn he would gift us with the copy of the National post. With supper in hand a quick joke to tell he would giggle and be on his way, somehow we always made Sked! He will be truly missed by all, here in Grand Prairie and we will be telling "Neal" stories for years to come. From all the staff at Jazz, SA, and the Viewpoint restaurant. Grande Prairie AB

My sincerest condolences to Neal's family and friends. We were always so excited to see Neals name on the flight plan coming into Grande Prairie. It usually meant a quick trip to the restaurant to order his hot beef sandwich and a guaranteed newspaper delivery for us. He brought a smile to everyone he met and will be dearly missed. Rest in peace our dear friend.

Kathy, I am so very sorry to hear about Neal's passing. I had the pleasure of working with him a lot, as we were both commuters and picked similar pairings. He talked about his family often and how much he loved his time at the cabin, especially with you and your grand daughter. He really wanted to be a great provider and a mentor. He had so many dreams left for the both of you. If I were to say that Neal was a shy, quiet and reserved man, you know we wouldn't be talking about the same person. He was always smiling or his lips were moving because he was talking. He was quick to laugh and had a brilliant mind. Neal was really respected at work and all of us are better for having known him. Neal, we will miss you!
