Tributes

1. Neil was a wonderful caring brother when we were growing up together in Ipswich and after, as we continued with our adult lives. Even though we lived miles apart Neil was always there for me. I will miss his cheerful advice and the great times we shared.
   Loved you Neil. Mum & Dad were so proud of you.
   Words cannot express how much you will be missed.

2. Dear Kay and family

   Neil had been part of my life for nearly 25yrs and he made an impact not only to my life/wellbeing but to my dad (David McKinlay), my cousins, aunties and uncles, my husband and many friends and work colleagues. We are all saddened to hear of his passing.

   Where a beautiful soul has been, there is a trail of beautiful memories. Neil may have gone from our sight, but never from any of our hearts.

   Our prayers and thoughts are with you on the loss of your beloved Neil. You are in our hearts. Neil will always be remembered for his kindness and generosity in sharing his love of music with us here at Star of the Sea. His piano playing always enriched our days. May you find some peace in knowing that Neil was such a very fine man. Much love to you from you resident friends at Star of the Sea.
