Neil enjoyed many years of farming on the homestead in Tehkummah, then at the age of 40, entered Barber College in Toronto, spending over 30 years in his Barber shop in Little Current. He enjoyed the camaraderie with customers and towns people, who sometimes were looking for advice or an interesting story.

Neil was a kind man, always a good listener with a quiet Faith. Thank you to the staff at st Joseph’s Villa, especially Dawson, and staff at Sudbury Regional for their compassion.
