Neil was an outstanding Georgian. He swam for the school, was on the track and field team and was the captain of the second eleven football side. He was a member of the Drama Club and a member of the cast of 1962 Oedipus Rex production. He was also a member of the ‘Presidents’, a band that grew out of another Georgian Bobby DeMercardo’s home.

He migrated to Canada in 1965 and joined the Armed Forces, worked in the hotel industry as well as in the mining industry. He was a qualified Counselling Specialist with the Workers Compensation Board of Ontario.

He was a one-time President of the STGC Old Boys Association and worked on the Executive Committee for many years.

He suffered a stroke on Friday and did not recover. He leaves behind, wife Louise and sons Matthew and Jeffery.

We pray for his family.

May his soul and the souls of the faithful departed rest-in-peace.
