Neal Mandeville
Sept. 12th 1954-Dec. 20th, 2015
My Dad
My dad gave me life and taught me to
live, with drive, kindness and love
He was quiet and smart, with a gener-
ous heart; my dad is with me above
I’ve learned a lot, as he gave me a lot,
his hugs, his laugh and his smile
It’s hard that you’ve left, nothing’s the
same, but I know I’ll see you in
awhile
When I was a boy, the world was a
dream; I’m older now, it’s a shame
If I could go back, just for one day,
I’d hug you and hold you the same
Now I’m a dad, a father and blessed,
a son I have, and I know
I’ll smile once again, not in sorrow or
pain, as you’re skiing in heaven’s
white snow -Ross Mandeville
Neal took care of us all with dedication and deep love. He was calm, stable, wise, generous, caring, grounded and humble. A man of very few words, with a modest smile and soft twinkle. Dearly missed…
but never, ever to be forgotten.
A family memorial was held on
