Diana, girls, and grands,
I am so truly heartbroken over the loss of Neil. He was a man that you would never find anyway to a negative word about him. Neil was a man of great integrate, amazing work ethic, loyal, and never fake. Most importantly Neil was nothing short of the perfect family man. He ate, breathed, and slept his beautiful family. Find comfort in the amazing memories you all have created as an amazing family. Love and Prayers for his loved one's. Rest easy Neil, gone but NEVER forgotten!
Neil, may you rest peacefully up there in heaven. To the Conti family, my sincere condolences to you all on such a devastating loss. It was a pleasure and treasure to know Neil. He was one of the greatest guys and will be missed immensely.
