I worked for many years with Neil at The Co-operators and he was such a fun person to be around. He had a great sense of humor and at Staff Social Occasions was always up at the podium to tell us a funny story or Joke. He was definitely a person who was liked among his Co-Workers and he will be missed at our Annual "Old Coots" Dinners. I send to you Gail and your Family my deepest Sympathy.

Neil was my bantam hockey coach and I learned so much from him. Of course I was in awe of him earlier, as I watched him play hockey and softball at a very high level. He was such an impressive man and will be fondly remembered. My condolences to all the Wassons and Neil's friends.

I have many fond memories of Neil, from our younger days when we hunted together and played hockey(regretfully on opposing teams). He was always congenial whenever we met over the years. My condolences to Gail and family. rest in Peace, Neil.

RIP Neil! One of Peterborough's prominent sports families, akin to the Johnston and Evans families, has passed on. Neil had the experience of playing softball and hockey with his brothers, another tribute to the Johnston and Evans families. Peterborough's sports fans were treated to his excellence.Asked about his past sports history, Neil,like the other Wassons, modestly shrugged off his accomplishments as just playing the game. We'll miss you!

Dear Gail & Family:
On behalf of my father, Roger Wilson (and my late mother Pauline) and our family, we were so sorry to learn of Neil's passing and we wanted to send you and the Wasson family our sincere condolences, Mom and dad always enjoyed getting together with you and Neil and the rest of the "gang" for lots of laughter and good times! Dad still loves to talk about his experiences playing sports with Neil and his brothers, not to mention the well known rivalries between various teams. Neil's wit and dry sense of humour will be greatly missed by all who knew him, especially by my dad. We always laugh at the photo of dad and Neil dressed in identical outfits while vacationing in Florida. "Happy Hours" will never be the same!
Sincerely,
Donna Spina
On behalf of Roger Wilson and family

Gail - I think of Neil every day when I put my shoes on. I have a shoehorn and so did Sandy. There is also one at John's home for when we visit there. I have a letter in my hand to Sandy from Neil about their common ancestors. Neil was a good man, I know you will miss him.
