Neil was a kind, quiet, gentle soul whose passion was always music, he played the trombone in several musical groups and his rich baritone voice was his pride. A heartfelt thank you to The Wellington Terrace staff for their remarkable and compassionate care over the past two and half years, and making it a second home for him. There will be a private family service and interment at Belsyde Cemetery. In lieu of flowers a donation to the Wellington Terrace Recreation/Gardens Fund would be appreciated by the family.
