I remember “Corny” when we were schoolboys on Chicago’s Southside.  We’d get our stuff together and walked  Eastward into Jackson Park to a large open field to fly our model airplanes.  We all flew U-control planes, but one time my brother and I built a free-flight plane just to try it.  Being raw novices,  we didn’t trim (balance) our model correctly, so when  we fired up its tiny engine and launched it, it flew in big vertical arc  and crashed in cloud  of chopped grass and balsa wood splinters.  Corny, my brother and  I couldn’t stop laughing.   I was the neighborhood kid always experimenting with electricity and wanted to be an electrical engineer, which I did.  And I clearly recall Cornelius loved airplanes and built very nice flying models, and said he wanted to be a pilot in his life.  I’m  happy he was able to live his boyhood wish.  

Best wishes to all,

Myron Boyajian

Hi,

I ‘m not sure if this gentleman was the Cornelius Meyer I grew up with in Chicago.  Please tell me if he lived in Chicago and attended Fiske Elementary and Hyde Park HS.  If he is, I have some pleasant boyhood memories to share.  If not, please accept both my apologies for disturbing you and my sincere condolences for your loss.

Kindest regards,

Myron  Boyajian

Neil was indeed one of the good guys. He always had that twinkle in his eye and a great sense of humor. A true gentleman through and through.

Neil was one of the guys who made airline flying a true joy.  He had such a great dry wit and sense of humor. I will always savor the memories of flying with him.

Always a pleasure to find Neil was on the trip. He had that great desert dry humor, paired with his subtle smile. One of the good guys.

One of my favorite Captains to fly with for many years! Great man, Pilot and Train enthusiast! He will be missed.

Erika, I have many fond memories of Neil since he was my flight instructor (1959) in the AirForce Aero Club. He was responsible for me being a WAL/DAL pilot.
As a couple Lana and I have many good memories from our meeting in Switzerland in 1968 to celebrate our marriages to having lunch this past January, 2015. His smile will be missed..
