Born in Woodbury and raised in Buena where he was a 1990 graduate of Buena Regional High School, Neil has been a resident of Franklinville since 2003. He joined the Concrete Finishers Union Local 592 in Philadelphia and worked his way up through the ranks at Harry S. Peterson Company. Neil left the union in 2011 after 20 years to start Morgan Restoration & Waterproofing.
Neil was an active and adventurous person. He enjoyed dirt bike riding, playing flag football as an adult for many years, and playing club volleyball along with his wife Melissa. Together they enjoyed traveling and, for a number of years, Friday night was family poker night. He loved the water, especially riding his waverunner, and the pool he built with help from family and friends. Neil was a gentle giant with a big kid inside who enjoyed coaching his son’s flag football team. His wife remembers him as a patient and thorough teacher with sports or anything he was trying to help you with and an all-around handy guy.
