Neal was one of my few friends who had a car.. We had a lot of fun!  He always attracted teh opposite sex and knew how to party!  I haven't seen him since the 25th Lee reunion but will always miss him... He had a great passion for life and was an awesome competitor in math classes and number sense club

I remember Neal as a live wire. We spent time at his home, listening to music, and often drove about the city. I recall his getting some gin and Rose's lime juice, telling us how great it was... as he drove up Blanco road. 

He had gusto and lived in the moment.
