Judy met Neal at the 50 year reunion of Culter Academy
students.
Judy had gone to Culter from
the 4

grade in the same classes
as Neal.
But they had not seen each
other since then.
They
corresponded from a distance, she in Florida and he in Morro Bay CA.
Neal flew to Florida and proposed.
They were married on May 7
th
2011.
They moved to the Boise area (he had lived there before) in
2014 and have been there ever since.
Neal was a very loving man, easy to get along with, and easy to please.
He and Judy have had a delightful life
trading ‘barbs’ and joking with each other.
He had a passion for improvisation and theater arts, and hoped to reach
unchurched people through that medium.
He
loved going to church and sang with his entire being.
He worshipped God with his whole heart.
