Neal took a break from AzB a few times...not always voluntarily...but always came back, to interact with those of us here who really thrived on his great knowledge about anything pool. I also counseled him to come back to AzB, when he had decided to abandon the forum (sadly, like so many others who have left the forums due to the musings of the trolls).

Couple years later, Neil posted he was packing AZ in...I talked him out of it.
God rest you, good buddy
