    First I would like to send my heartfelt condolences and prayers to Donna, Jean, Jill, Ryan and the rest of the Neaveill family. Doug (or as I came to call him during a period in the 70's "Warthog")will surely be missed but will remain in my heart for the rest of my life. I could not have asked for a better neighbor as I was growing up. He always found time for the snotty and sometimes obnoxious kid next door...whether it was helping me learn how to use a 35mm slr camera or maybe telling me his secret to cleaning corrosion off of battery terminals. He was a great friend and an awesome neighbor. Thank you Doug for all you did.

    A philospher said that "grief is the pricetag of love". That is true but the love you share also is the balm that will heal the grief. Our condolences to you all. John and Letha Byrne
