The summers and winters building tree houses, shooting squirrels and dove, jumping from the hayloft into the corn crib of his family's barn. I remember when Neal decided to attend machinist school at George Stone vocational, and after high school our paths diverged, Neal beginning a career as a machinist and military service for myself. I have not seen Neal in many years, but his legacy is that of a life well lived. I am happy for him that he was able to achieve so very much, a wonderful family and a successful business. It is sad that Neal's life was cut short, but that sadness is lessened by the fact of his life and accomplishments. I know he will be there waiting in heaven, when the rest of us are along in a little while. Neal was blessed with a loving and caring family, watch over and comfort them in this time Lord. Amen.
