I remember the times we worked in the old Welfare building in the Sardine Room. And the good times we had with your grandson out turtle trapping. My sincere condolences to the entire family. I can’t come to the services because I’m on Hospice care myself. The Good Lord will watch over you and we will meet again soon. May his hands be on the family at this time of sadness.
I was very sorry to hear of Neal’s passing. Neal and I worked together for almost 30 years. We were very good friends during that time. Our friendship continued outside the office due to our mutual interest in hunting. I will always remember our two hunting trips to Wyoming. He will definitely be missed.
