RIP Uncle Neil. To my godfather you were such a happy humble man. Even though we never had a whole lot in common you would always make a big effort and take a great interest in what I was up to, deflecting from your own success- no matter how great and always putting your attention to others. You already are and will continue to be greatly missed. Lots of Love your godson Thomas RIP ❤️

We are so sorry to hear of Neil’s untimely passing- he will be sadly missed by everyone who has ever been fortunate enough to be part of his life. I treasure happy memories of many family visits to ‘Mairangi’ as we were growing up. Sincere condolences to Margaret and all the family. Wishing you courage as our lives go on without him. With deepest sympathy Love Pam & Phil Hansen
