From:
Paul Bolognese For those of you who don't remember Neil, he was our Deputy Director for Rentals and Finance and had a long career within the World Trade Department going back to the days of the NY World's Fair, before taking over the leasing of the soon to be constructed World Trade Center. Neil was an attorney and despite that flaw, was able to encourage cooperation from virtually anyone using his wit and charm. He will be sadly missed. Neil will be waked at the Shooks Cedar Grove Funeral Home located at 486 Pompton Ave (AKA Rte 23), in Cedar Grove NJ. If you need additional information, you may contact Shooks directly at 973-239-1489. Hours for tomorrow (Wednesday) evening will be from 7 P.M. to 9 P.M. Thursday visitation will be from 2 P.M. to 4 P.M., and 7 P.M. to 9 P.M. A funeral Mass will be conducted in Neil's honor on Friday morning at 10 A.M. at Saint Catherine's Church located at the intersection of Pompton Ave (Rte. 23) and Bradford Avenue. May God Bless Neil and his wife Eileen, and may Neil rest in peace.
