Neil lived most of his life in Richards until he retired and moved to the coast where he enjoyed riding along the beach, always looking for the perfect shell and fishing, some might say that Neil was a jack of all trades, he was a mechanic and could work on just about anything, a logger and a chicken farmer. Neil enjoyed spending time with his kids, his grandkids and his great grandkids as well as his many friends. Neil was very social and never missed an opportunity to visit and have a drink. Neil was a good man, and an even better Daddy who was loved and adored by many. He will be greatly missed. May he rest in eternal peace.
