My prayers are with the family. I believe Pops is in a wonderful place. He will be missed by all.
I have known Neil and Linda since 1964. They were great friends of my parents and Betty and Jerry Smith. Our families enjoyed many memories over the years! Neil had a great smile and I know he loved golf! Sending hugs to Linda and her family.
Linda and family, I was just checking the obits as I do every once in awhile and ran across Neil's. We are so sorry to hear of his passing. Been many years since we were neighbors. I ran into Neil and Bret a few years ago at Wal Mart in Friendswood during the Holiday's. Prayers for all the family. Don and Mollie Wright
