Dear Chris and family, I was so very sorry to hear of Neil's passing. I taught at TAPS from 1978 to 1982 and had the privilege of sharing some classes with Neil. He was a great colleague and a wonderful teacher. The kids really liked him. He spoke often of you Chris and the children. It was obvious you were very important to him. Also, you lived next door to my cousins Bob and Lenore and they so enjoyed you being their neighbours. Once again, please accept my sincere sympathy. Beth Olsen
