As a member of these organizations, Neil helped to provide opportunities and valuable experiences to many young people in his community.

He is survived by his nieces Patricia Hover of Hamburg, New York, and Kathleen Savory (Robert Wright) of Keedysville, Maryland; nephews David Hover (Barbara) of Buffalo, New York, Kevin Savory (Elizabeth) of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Russell Savory (Lelia) of Memphis, Tennessee; and six grandnieces and -nephews. He was predeceased by his sisters Mary Jeanne Hover, formerly of Hamburg, New York, and Marlene Savory, formerly of Wormleysburg, Pennsylvania; his nephew Michael Savory, formerly of Camp Hill, Pennsylvania; and his cousin William Billman, formerly of Bumpus Mills.
