Uncle Neal was a natural storyteller and had a fabulous sense of humor (one of the many great Rath traits). He was only two years older than my oldest sister and she had fun calling him "Uncle Neal" in the halls of high school much to his chagrin. I am sorry that I won't be able to attend his celebration of life, but it is a life worth celebrating. I will always remember him with sincere love and great fondness.
