Neil was dedicated to mechanics all his life and had a knack for fixing what others thought couldn’t be fixed. Alongside his own work, Neil took pride in mentoring many young aspiring mechanics, sharing his knowledge and helping them grow into skilled craftsmen in their own right.
In his later years, Neil found joy in tending to his farm and raising his beloved chocolate lab puppies. Above all, Neil was a devoted family man who cherished time spent camping, hunting and fishing with those he loved.
To those who knew him, he was lovingly known as Poppa.
