Dearest Neal. The shock of your sudden passing is still making me so sad. I may not have seen you in a few years but the times we laughed, drank and had fun together over the years will always be in my heart. The last time we spent proper time together when you came up here for a week, like true old friends we were relaxed and easy together and laughed so much. You were easy company . Even that day years ago when as a pharma rep I walked into see a customer to find you sat beside him as a student. I'm rarely lost for words but I was that day . So many shared memories so many shared laughs so many shared fun times. I'm so so sad you are gone the world is s darker place without you in it, but for you I'm glad you left us doing something you loved. Rest easy my dear friend you may have gone but you live on in so very many hearts. Always missed , always remembered 💔x
💚 Tribute to Our Dear Friend Dr Neil Turner It’s hard to put into words the shock and sadness we feel losing our dear friend so suddenly. Dr Neil Turner passed away at the golf course — the very place he loved, doing what brought him joy — while waiting for me to join him for a round. Neil was one of the most humble, genuine, and compassionate people we’ve ever known. He dedicated his life to caring for others, saving countless lives through his work as a doctor, and yet he remained down-to-earth, kind, and always had time for everyone around him. We shared so many wonderful moments together — laughter, stories, and memories that will stay with us forever. Neil wasn’t just a golfing mate; he was family to us. My wife, Pene, and I loved him dearly and feel truly blessed to have had him in our lives. His easy smile, gentle humour, and calming presence brought warmth wherever he went. Neil touched the hearts of all who knew him, both on and off the course. We’ll miss him deeply — his friendship, his laughter, and the light he brought into every day. But we’ll carry him with us always, in every story shared, every round played, and every act of kindness that reminds us of who he was. Rest easy, our dear friend. Your compassion and humility will continue to inspire everyone whose lives you touched. 💚🏌️♂️ With love and gratitude, Dion & Pene Andersen
