You left us way too soon Neil. We loved our chats with you in the grove and you always had a friendly wave and smile. You inspired us with your love of biking and tennis which you keep doing right up to a few weeks ago when your body said it was too tired. I'm sure you will serve a few aces up there and find some new trails to ride. Arohanui Neil. We will miss you. Susan and Bill Rooney
