I am truly honored to have had Neil as a friend. As beer can collectors, we would chat not just cans, but about our families and life in general. My memories of Neil will be his amazingly sharp mine, always smiling, always optimistic. Way too young for such an amazing person to be gone. RIP my friend, and thoughts to your family.

I am sorry to hear of your passing but I know you have now moved on to a place where great cones are found every time you go dumping, you never get poison ivy, you never get chased off property, and it never starts raining in the middle of a great dig. As much as we will all miss you, I know you are having a great time doing what you love.
