OMG!!! I just was informed of my Nealy wheely transition. I'm speechless, but, most of all heartbroken. I was one of the staff who worked in the group home in Beaumont where he resided. Neal and I shared a great relationship, he always, always looked out for me. Helping when he could around the house, meal planning, always kept me laughing. Even when I had some rough days he would make it his business to ensure that I would smile , always encouraging me, to be happy with what I have, because there are others less fortunate. I will forever remember his kind and funny words. His laughter, walking his dog JoJo. Mr. Paul and family words can't explain the my condolences. However, please know that I truly loved Neal I would tell him he was the big brother I always wanted, and believe me he didn't disappoint. Mr. Paul and family I pray that God will hold you all tightly and provide you all with the comfort, love and peace you all need fduring this ardous journey. Neal RIP dearheart you will never be forgotten, I love you . Your other little sister, Angella

Neal was a patient of ours at Dr. Robert L Smith. He was a kind and loving man. He always had a smile on his face and never met a stranger. He will be missed by many, and we at Dr. Smith’s office offer our condolences. He will be greatly missed.

Father Paul and family, I am truly sorry to hear about Neil’s passing. Neil was my friend and my neighbor. A kind soul, always willing to lend a helping hand and make you smile. I take comfort in knowing I got to visit with him before he went into the hospital and talked to him shortly after he was transferred to Houston. May he rest in peace.
