He attended college in Moose Jaw, SK studying Business Administration, and joined the Hudson’s Bay Co. Northern Stores Division for 7 years as clerk and manager. For 3 years he worked for Pinkerton Security in Montreal before moving out west where he was employed by Fording River for 23 years until he retired in 2001.

Neil loved to travel and enjoyed adventures to Europe, Mexico, all over the United States and the Holy Land. He also travelled throughout Canada with many trips to Montreal. Neil was a lifelong active member of his church, ProLife, and a charter member of St. Bernard’s Knights of Columbus. Summers were spent camping at the cabin by the lake with his family in Saskatchewan. He also enjoyed music, photography, and was an avid reader.
