Del and I first met Neil back in the 80's whe he and our son,Steve,were working together at Mona Vale,but we really didn't get to know him until the last 5 to 10 years. We didn't see him that often, but were in continuous contact by 'phone or e-mail. He was very generous to us with his friendship and, in fact, was fast becoming like another son. Del and I will miss him, but not forget him.
