Deb McEvilly wrote a sympathy message

“Rest in peace Uncle Neil. While we did not see him a lot due to us living in Illinois, we road-tripped to Montana twice as kids and him and aunt Barbie were great hosts! It was fun going to their Coast to Coast store and picking out my first pocket knife! He always had a smile on his face and shared his wealth of knowledge of Montana. As an adult my family road-tripped to Montana and he joined us at Yellowstone which was a great time. He will be missed by many!”
