Thread: Neil Miller RIP

Condolences to Neil's family at this difficult time. He'll be greatly missed here too.

I read just now about this bad news, rest in peace my friend and condolence to the family.

I have received this from one of our members, Dave (Rolodave) and asked him if I may share it here.
Dave is a fine guy and his prayer list has helped me greatly in some recent hardships.
I thank him and especially for his permission to share it here. I felt it quite a fine tribute to Neil's memory.

(Dave's words;)


"After Neil and I started talking about things other than shaving and I became aware of his health issues I offered to place him on the prayer list at our church. Neil was most receptive and thanked me several times over the past year for putting his name on the list. Our pastor would occasionally ask how Neil was doing and sometimes I had good news but usually not.

This morning I put one of Neil's strops on the altar and took a pic. Pastor Patrick asked why knowing something was very wrong. When I told him my friend had passed he was very comforting and made several comments during the service that friends did not have to live next door or be on facebook. Sometimes just being there for someone to lean on was being the best kind of friend. I am so glad I reached out to Neil and in someway gave him some comfort during his terrible ordeal.

Neil touched so many people even ones at a small Methodist church in the very small town of Franksville, Wisconsin."

My condolences to Neil's wife and family. He was a very nice person and will be missed.

I've not been on the shaving forums for a while but I'm deeply saddened and, although I knew he'd been very ill, somewhat shocked to learn of his passing.

He was very generous with his advice to me sometimes by public reply other times privately and he was also sometimes quite scathing of people who purported to know a lot but in truth didn't. His candour was IMO very welcome, and he will be greatly missed.

Kim, my sincere condolences to you and your family he was one of the good guys.

Just seeing this now...
Shocked and saddened...
Condolences to the family.

Rest in Peace, Neil. One of a kind, and top shelf in every way.

I have been away so news has been slowly filtering in. I am very saddened to hear about this, we have lost a great member of the community. Condolences to the family.

My condolences to Neil's wife and family. May he rest in peace. I will miss his wisdom of everything related to straights. Fortunately we have archives that will preserve both knowledge and memories of a fine man.

Very sad news.
My condolences and prayers for his family and friends...
