He discovered his love for computers in 1967 and has met small businesses' computer needs until his death. Neil loved his family and in his soft-spoken way had a major impact on those around him with his upbeat attitude, abundant energy, and friendly disposition. Neil enjoyed being the goodwill ambassador to his neighbors. Neil's strong ethical principles, his persistence, tenacity, and consistency challenged and inspired us all to live to a higher standard. His mind was always activegenerating ideas for himself and others. He had the mind of an inventor, creating fun and useful items such as his famous shock box that has provided family and friends with hours of entertainment. His hobby was home building; his home was an ongoing construction project for 35 years. Neil enjoyed the love of his family, friends, neighbors and co-workers and the great sadness we feel now will be eased by our fond memories of him.
