Neil was just one of those people you meet in life who you just instantly clicked with. Amiable, such a great sense of humour, who had one of those minds which allowed him to dredge up things that everyone else had long forgotten!! I used to call him "Rain Man" because of his talent. We worked closely together and spent hours (sorry work) chatting about anything from long forgotten 80's music, our football rivalry, tennis, cooking, TV, travel. You name it, we talked about it. We used to call each other Saint & Greavsie (if you can remember them). I was 'Saint' to his 'Greavsie' when it came to predicting weekly football results and was chuffed to bits for him when he won £500 last season. Outside of work, we had a few rounds of footgolf which was a blast and great fun, and I know he really enjoyed that as it brought out his inner competitiveness. "Now then geezer", "Wise words" were a couple of his catchphrases that'll live long in the memory. I was absolutely heartbroken when I heard the news (still am) and I will miss him terribly. I'm absolutely honoured to have known him and truly proud to call him a friend. Thank you for everything Neil.
