NEIL. You will be sadly missed by John Elaine Angie & Luke. We missed the good times when you all went STH, but loved to talk to you during the week. It was so exciting to watch Mark & Nat driving your Champions down the straights. You lived life to its best, enjoyed what you did. A great sense of humour. Mark Nat & the boys will miss you scooting around the stables. (Not quite as quick as those Horses). YOU WERE ONE IN A MILLION. NOW IN THE ARMS OF AN ANGEL. GOOD-BYE OUR DEAR FRIEND. John Elaine Angie & Luke.

I'm in the UK on a short holiday. .and remembering how Neil looked after Jake ( who had been my dad's dog before he landed on his feet at All Stars) so well. George & I visited Neil early May and the two of them were firmly and happily settled in the cottage. Neil's only complaint was all the short white hairs that landed everywhere when the darling wee dog gave himself a happy shake!

Sincere condolences from the "Rail Ferry Boys" that had the privilege of dealing with Neil over the many years of crossing on both the Aritika and the Arahura.
Neil, you were a legend!! From selling us the old mare Black Pan to tipping us numerous winners those trips were magic.
You will be sadly missed.

What a sad loss. Neil will be missed in many ways by his friends in Auckland and especially the Kumeu Trotting Club. Cup Day at the Met in November will not be the same for us all without Neil there.
