McCabe Funeral Home

I still remember from last year when I was at your place with my crew to film your family for my film. You were so helpful and patient throughout shooting. It is just unbelievable to hear this news!

Meeting Neil for the first time in middle school. He sat next to me in English class and we hit it off immediately. I still recall the days when Neil rode his bike over to my house after school to play football on the golf course. I also remember the fun we had driving around in his QX4, listening to loud music. So many memories...I will always keep Neil in my heart. He was an important port of my childhood and I do not think I could be who I am today without him.

Summer of 1986 I met Neil - a toddler then first time at his parents living quarter at Regency Inn trying to stand up next to his dad who was opening door to me. That day onward I had always seen him standing tall & firm admiring and inspiring whomever he met. Last summer at Ratanbhai's daughter's graduation he had told me "uncle I have been calling you dad all my life,its not fair you are still very young so I am going to call you mara mottabhai (my elder brother)now on".

I will always remember Neil as the sweet, smart, smiling kid coming to multicultural club meetings at North Farmington high school. What a gem.

Whenever I called my Masi; if Neil happen to answer my call first thing he would ask is "How are you Ben?, How is Patel doing?" Neil was very good hearten person. He will stay in my heart forever. Gita Patel

Playing magic cards, street hockey, football, video games, basketball, we were always glued at the hip. Neil was genuinely one of the best people I had ever met in my life. A day doesn't go by in the last 3 years that I don't miss him and wish I could give him a call or pick him up to get a bite to eat. Miss you buddy.
