Neil and I had many fond memories for six years after we both had lost our spouses for 50plus years. We sang songs together..The last one I sang to him a few days before he died was: Someone to Watch Over Me...He loved that one.

I was sorry to hear about Neil. He was a very smart businessman and had a warm personality.
