Remembering your smile and your generous, genuine spirit, Neil.  So glad and grateful we had the chance to visit in October.  Rest in peace, dear one.

Rest in Peace Neil. I remember you from High School ::))

Neil-it was wonderful to chat and catch up at our reunion in October.  You were a wonderful friend in high school...

Gone too soon but still accomplished so much. My best friend is gone but never forgotten.

I have know Neil since High school. He had the biggest heart and the most beautiful smile and when I was down I remember he would always find ways to make me laugh. you will be truly missed.

I've known Neil and his sister Aleta (my classmate) since we were kids and our Dad's were on the ASU music faculty. I'm so glad I saw Neil at a McClintock class reunion a few years ago. He was so nice and friendly.   Aleta, sorry I could not be at the memorial service. 
My mom was glad to see you and Val and she was the one who told me about Neil.

Neil you will be missed, but never forgotten!

Neil, you left this world too soon.  You will be missed dearly my friend.

I had the pleasure of sitting next to Neil at many movie screenings. In fact, I feel honored to say that he sat near me at his final screening. I will forever feel the overwhelming optimism and extraordinary enthusiasm that he emanated each and every moment of his life. Neil, you will be missed - but never forgotten.

Neil,
You are loved. Thank you for making this world a better place.

xoxo,
Shelly

Rest in Peace, gentle man. 
Gort! Neil Cohen Barada Nikto!

My sweet Friend Neil,
I am so grateful we were able to reconnect at the reunion. 
Your kind, supportive words will stay with me always. 
This world won't be the same without you! 
Rest in Peace my friend.

Rest now my sweet sweet contessa.  Your ray of sunshine will always be my light.

Words from one of many alumni posting: 

Neil Cohen- One Last Time To Say Goodbye: I did not, expect not, or thought not the time done and gone in this Friday Macayo's Depot Catina dinner at a McClintock High School '82- 30 year reunion. We were only joking, poking, laughing, chatting, dreaming, scheming, and posing for this picture as being silly in the days gone by. Was it a mystery that ended this friendship? Or was it a surprise of an actor leaving the world's stage? "Neither!" I say. This was the love of brothers who enjoyed art, drama, and literature. This was time well spent eating together as friends for the last time. This is now a memory- cherished in the dark times, ahead. Only these words will bear me: "Neil: you are my friend. You are not forgotten." 

He envied me about my trips to London.  I?  I found later and admired his Florida and New York visits.  

Goodbye, Friend.

Neil, you were one of the first people I met when I moved to Phoenix and made me feel so welcomed. I absolutely loved your presence and your amazing stories. Thank you for being my friend. I miss you!

I am so glad that we had a chance to reconnect at our H.S. reunion.  Although we were not close in during our H.S. year, my memories of Neil was positive and pleasant. I had an awesome time learning about what you did after high school and found that you were just as nice. Thank you for making an uplifting imprint on my life. I am sure God has great plans for you.

My thoughts are with your family. You were truly a gentle soul.

Neil, you always showed kindess and compassion to everyone you met, including me.  You will always have a special place in my heart.  God bless you and your family in their sorrow.

Rest in Peace Neil.  Left us far too soon.  Guess you'll have a new crowd to entertain now.

His insights were always spot-on, and his fundamental joy was infectious. to those who knew him, he will not be forgotten. George Grorud, Phoenix, Arizona

You will be greatly missed, Neil.  May you rest in peace.

Just as our class was reconnecting with you through FB and the reunion, your life was cut way too short.  I am so glad I got to see you and give you a big hug at the reunion and I am so sorry that the world lost you at such a young age.  Your light will shine in heaven, as it did here on earth.  Keep smiling that happy smile:)

Once a Charger, always a Charger... even in heaven.  You will be missed Neil.

Love and prayers for you and the loved ones left behind.

You will be missed.  I will always miss your smile.   Seeing you always happy.  Neil you are one in a million.  We all love you and will miss you.  But we will all see you again.   LOve u buddy ox

The world has been made smaller by the passing of a truly great and gifted individual.  Your glowing spirit is missed, my friend...

In your honor,
The sun will set a little quieter 
The stars will shine a bit brighter
The winds will whisper a gentle sigh.

In your honor,
The mountains will stand a bit taller
The eagles will soar a little higher
The oceans will wave a gentle goodbye.

..You are loved and missed by many. It has truly been a blessing to have known you.

We are all missing Neil so much. Kind, caring, super funny, gentle and simply a genius intellect.

Dear Neil,
I will miss your smile, your humor, and your generosity.  Rest in peace.

Dearest Neil, you are so loved, so missed and so cherished.

I will miss Neil's wit and wonderful sense of humor.  He was a kind, considerate and caring friend to many people.

The smile. The laugh. The sense of humor. The dedication to the Phoenix theatre scene. The gentleness. Neil, you left too early. I pray for your soul: Eternal rest grant into him oh Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.

Such a happy, dedicated and gracious man and friend.

I cannot find the words to express what Neil meant to us. I will miss his words of encourgement and his fun posts. Goodbye is so hard a word to say but we will see you later is a little easier. Angie, David, Dan Gonzales, Michael Turner

Oh, Neil, I will miss your enthusiasm every time we crossed paths.  A big hug and a smile. Your smile was so lovely. I will miss you so much!

Your smile lit up the world.  In loving memory of Neil...we still feel the warmth of your friendship.
