We only worked with Neal through this past summer and found him to be straightforward and honest. He was a welcomed pleasure to work with and just have conversation with, Neal had visited us on the job at ‘lot #2 Walnut Cove’ at about 4:00 pm that afternoon and he was energetic as always. We were so shocked and saddened Tuesday morning when we learned of the tragic news. Neal was so good to us and we appreciate that. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
