Neil was truly one of a kind. He was passionate about science, about food, about music, about football and about his wife, Abby. More than anything, he was passionate about life, and enjoying his time on this planet, whether he was attending a concert, cooking for dozens of friends, or enjoying time with his wife. Vaya con dios, my friend; we'll not see your like again.

Neil was a longtime fan of my band Club d'Elf, and it was always a pleasure hearing from him and discussing music, culture and art. He was one of the few who would take the time to respond to the e-newsletters i would send out monthly, and his responses were always very positive and well-informed. I will greatly miss our correspondence & his sign off: Peace, Joy & Creative Anarchy, Neil.
