While in the Navy he also got his associates degree in Electronics from Excelisor College. At the end of his tour, he studied and got his brokers license and his career in real estate took off. It was his passion.

He was also an avid golfer, on the course as often as he could. His competitive nature helped him succeed in all he did. Neal had a quick wit and could make anyone laugh. His joy came from your laughter. He would go above the call of duty to help others and felt responsible for all under his care in his family and work. He lit up a room when he entered it with his over-the-top personality.

Neal’s legacy will live on in the hearts of those who loved him. His life, though cut short was a testament to the impact one individual can have on others. Rest in Jesus’s arms in heaven, dear Neal. We know that we will see you again.
