His mind was amazing as was his wealth of historical and scientific smarts. He will be sorely missed by all who loved him and even by those who did not.
His health was bad for a very long time, filled with pain and frustration. I am grateful that his suffering has ceased.
The mold was broken as God made Neil. Rest Easy, My Friend.
Final Regards,
