They broke the mould when they made Barry Neil. He was known for his sense of humour, his athleticism, and his love of fishing, nature and sports. He was affectionately known as ‘Neilo’ and ‘Neily’ to his long time buddies. Bear, Dad, Poppa, Uncle Barry was a force of nature and will be greatly missed.
