Dear Peggy, and Family, I was a member of the 1954 class with Neal.Came in June and was told he was very ill.Nell Collins is so good to keep me posted on the class. I live in Tallahasse Fl. so have only been there for 3 reunions.Lost my husband 11 yrs. ago. and know how hard it is. You were indeed blessed to have had such a good person. I do remember one yr. when on the Friday night of the wkend, you and Neal invited the whole group out to your place, close to Lake Cherokee. I thought what a nice thing for you to do, and really enjoyed the evening.Very nice Obituary. God Bless you and help you get through this hard time. Sue McFerren Coyner

Dear Peggy & Family,
My Deepest Sympathy to you and your family. When I would visit Longview, Neal was always someone I wanted to see. He always suggested a golf game. Neal was such a lovely person and he will be greatly missed.

Dear Peggy and Family,
Neal blessed me, a cousin,and my family. I will never forget him for that. For my daughter's graduation from college, where she also played golf on a scholarship, he help us make that St. Andrews Scotland trip of a lifetime, and play the Old Course.
You shared him with my family and I thank you so much for it.
May God's Blessings be on you, His strength sustain you, and His hope encourage you that one day we will see Neal again.

A real person that I came to know. He was interesting and I loved talking to him. I will miss seeing him at the Heartsway golf outing and sharing a few thoughts. May he rest in peace.
