In young adulthood you would find "The Sound Master, DJ Neal" throughout Pittsburgh spinning his favorite records. His passion of music ran deep throughout his life. He enjoyed entertaining with his family and friends in his garage bar, cooking his famous chili, hosting Steeler playoff parties, and putting his Dj skills on display.  His door was always open for a friend, neighbor, relative, anyone in need. His passion for the church grew as he aged. He was a true believer and found comfort in his diminishing health that he would be greeted by the Lord in heaven, with his parents by his side.
