Neil was a force of nature, determined to make everyone laugh. He was a loving husband and father, grandfather, son and brother. His family meant the world to him and up until his last days he made sure they came around often.  

Whether it be bucket golf, cornhole , cards or horseshoes he made sure he always won because if you asked him he was the best at everything!  

He was also a prankster wherever he went and rarely could you get him back. He was the king of wet willies even though we all disliked them very much! He had an extensive collection of nascar and watched it religiously every Sunday.  

Neil was also a passionate of metal detecting and could often be found with Jerry when he wasn't at home. He loved to go digging for any kind of treasure he could find. He would get really excited when he found many old treasures, he would bring them home clean them up and research what they were and then would show them off to anyone who would listen as to the history of his finds. Sometimes his family would throw coins or bottle caps out in the yard to get him going while he was metal detecting.
