“ Another one bites the dust”. --- A musical tribute only Neil would appreciate. That was the way Neil was --- a snicker and slight laugh. He was the guy from Queens who possessed all the sarcasm and satire NY.C. could offer. But, cut through his crusty veneer, and you will find a warm, unselfish, and talented guy who will be missed so very, very much. We feel blessed to have called him a friend and adopted brother to the “Nostalgia Band” family. Neil made our gigs fun and his musical skills blessed us. (And boy he could pack his car with a ton of equipment.) The music has stopped far to soon for Neil. But our memories will not die. The stoppage of earthly time has now given birth to the comfort knowing that our wonderful interactions with Neil were time well spent. We know Neil knew how much we appreciated him, as we never hid our affection. There are no regrets, only praise and thanksgiving. Although I tried to capture Neil’s appreciation for sarcasm, no “tongue in cheek” jokes can hide our tears. It just hurts too much. Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers go out to you, Andrea as you lost a wonderful guy. We thank you for sharing Neil. In closing, on behalf of the band “Nostalgia” we thank you, Neil --- we miss you --- and we will always keep you in our conversations. Love, Carol and Bill Scharff and “Nostalgia”
