Aloha Dorothy and family,
We are so sorry to hear about your Dad and wanted to let you know that we are thinking and praying for all of you. We all grew up together with so much happy and fun memories and your Dad will always hold a special place in my heart. He will be missed by all of us.

WE ARE DEEPLY SADDEN BY THE LOST OF OUR FRIEND. HE WILL BE MISSED. OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU THROUGH-OUT THIS TIME OF GRIEVING.
I’m going to miss that guy, especially his yummy fudge he would make for his family and friends, his comments about certain events and annoying people no names-LOL, and mostly his great big hugs! I could always tell when I attended birthday parties, etc.at his son Neal’s house that he loved his family deeply. I send my condolence to his family, especially to my friends Nealjr, Jeanette, Morgan, Jarod, and Dorothy. He will always be in our hearts. Much love~Joni
p.s. the angels will love his fudge!
Just wanted to say that I am sorry to the family for the loss of their Dad, Husband and Grandfather. I really liked Neal and would always call him “Cranky”. He always took it with humor and I think he kinda liked the nickname. I’m glad he’s at rest and not suffering anymore. He can golf all he wants now. Rest in Peace Cranky. Pattie
Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free.
I’m following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard him call
I turned my back and left it all.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief.
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share joy with me.
God has taken me home. He has set me free.
May you find solace in knowing that your Dad is resting in a better place on this day. May God bless you, give you strength, and carry you through these difficult times. My heart and prayers are with you.
