    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,

    Tom, it was very clear that he felt a strong connection with you too through the posts and banter you both enjoyed. You could tell you were both good friends.

    Although I only knew Neil here and not well I had a lot of respect for his honesty and ability to "keep it real". You could also tell that on the other side of it all he cared deeply for people and had a big heart. What a loss for SRP as he had information from the "other side of the pond" that very few others ", if any, seemed to know.

    Adios old friend.

    Like Tom so wonderfully stated, Neil was a treasure. I enjoyed many visits with him via e-mails and we recounted many similar adventures we'd had in life.

    He will be sorely missed.

    His pain and suffering is over. I pray for his family and wife.

    I never got the chance to meet or even have a conversation with Neil. I have saw examples of his fine work and was very impressed. It seems that he had quite a following in our community, and it saddens us all that such a person is no longer with us. My thoughts and prayers are with Neils family through these tough times.

    I didn't know him, but his work was wonderful and his comments were always very very informative and full with knowledge.
    RIP Neil and my prayers are with Neils family.
