A fine gentleman who I admired as a fellow pilot. He was a wonderful aviation artist and had other artistic abilities. He will be missed by all who knew him.

I have a painting of Neil’s of a L-1011 flying at night with the moon in the sky that hangs in my bedroom. I am very fortunate to have won this as a door prize. Thank you, Neil, posthumously. Jim Wells
