Samuel Francis McNeil
July 28, 1951 – September 25, 2019
It is with sorrowful hearts that we announce the death of
Samuel “Sam” Francis McNeil, age 68, of Halifax. Born
July 1951 in Glace Bay, the son of Dan J McNeil and Mary
Campbell, Sam grew up in Reserve Mines, Cape Breton.
He joined the Canadian Navy in 1973 and served aboard
HMCS Gatineau, HMCS Iroquois and HMCS Algonquin. He
served in Montreal in the Frigate program and in Toronto
in the Tribal update program. Sam was very grateful for
the gift of a heart transplant in 2005. Sam was
predeceased by his parents, his sister Catherine and
brother Wendell. He is survived by brothers Eric and
Donald and several nieces and nephews. He will be
especially missed by his dear friend Doris Feltmate. Per
Sam’s wishes he has been cremated and burial will be at
sea.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Samuel Francis McNeil..
