Neil found immense joy in his role as grandfather to Pearl and Violet, who brought so much love and laughter to his days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Neil was fortunate to share many beautiful years with his beloved partner, Jay Du Boisson. Together, they created a life rooted in love, laughter, companionship, and adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Neil made a lasting impact on those fortunate enough to know him, and his spirit will continue to live on in the memories we share and the stories we tell.
