Our thoughts are with Neils children Erika, Michelle, Raymond, Leon and families at this very sad time. I have great memories working with Neil a very genuine man who always considered others.
In latter years whenever we caught up he was always up for a chat and interested what was happening in our lives and family. A former employee of M & F Brunt Transport. Neil was always genuine courteous loyal and a hard worker. He will be missed by you all, your special memories of your dad are yours forever.
Rest Easy Coley.
