Guestbook

  1. Sending sympathy to all the family. I remember Neil as a gentle spoken man; quick to smile. God bless.

  2. You were just like a second father growing up. You never treated us any different than you did your own. You will be missed love you uncle Neil.

  3. Grandpa, you have taught me so many things. What unconditional love means, hard work does pay off, to be quiet and have patience especially on a fishing boat. You always made time for family and little trips. Checking crops meant don’t tell grandma we are sneaking into Casselton to get dilly bars during crop checking. We love you so much.
