Only in the last two years have I learned of a person like Neil, who had accumulated so much knowledge about what many consider an arcane subject. Once I read a few of his posts, I realized how much there was to be learned from him, and how blessed I was to be able to be a long-distance student of his.

In addition to his knowledge and craftsmanship as an artisan in his own right (which I only got to experience through the raves of his fans), he had a dry wit that made me smile to myself when reading many of his posts. When I would read someone write< "Let's see what Neil Miller has to say about this" i'd check back more frequently to see what gems of wisdom and wit he'd drop on us.

Rest in peace now, sir, though I barely knew you, I will miss you.

Prayers for his family, who surely miss him more than I.
