RIP Neil, until we meet again
Neil, kneel8250, passed away this morning after a 3 month battle with cancer. He was the love of my life and I don’t know how I will manage without his humor, without his companionship, without his love and support. Until we meet again, my love.

Condolences, Wendy, on the passing of your beloved Neil. 
It is challenging to face the loss of your partner with whom you have shared so many things, but hopefully your remembrances of those memories will help see you through the days ahead. And, perhaps these remembrances will let you “put him in the right seat” whenever you are driving one of your Corvettes.
RIP, Neil!

I’m going to move back to the US. There are too many memories here and not enough friends and family.

Cathy and I are so sorry to hear of Neil's passing. I always enjoyed talking with him, he always had something interesting to say. The Corvette world is a better place because of what Neil brought to it. We always looked forward to you and Neil's visit to the 'tree', when you were in the states. A void in our lives now exists.
Neil, you will never be forgotten.

I want to do a memorial for him when I’m in Houston next.

My deepest condolences for your loss. I didn't know Neil, but from what I've read here, he was an incredible person and an asset to our community. Definitely have the memorial in his honor. He would love that. And you have such a huge group here for support that I know you if we're to reach outbfor anything, the response would be overwhelming. I'll be praying for you you Cathy.

Wendy,
I don't know what to say. I was so shocked when I read your post in PRC about Neil. There is, I'm sure, a huge void in your life now.
Again, I am so very sorry.
