Condolences to you and your family Peg.  I remember Neil well from our young U of A days.  He always made me laugh!  Blessings to his Soul.

Peg, I just learned of Neil's passing in the ARTA Magazine. Gwen and I are so sorry to hear about your loss. Please accept our most sincere condolences.

Dear Peg and Family,

I know this message of condolence is late in coming, but I just shortly learned about the passing of Neil.  Neil was by far the best principal that I have ever worked for during my career as a teacher. Neil was compassionate, loving and caring, and he accepted the staff and students by allowing us to be who we were. This gave us a comfort and confidence level that enabled us to soar to great heights. The legacy of this exceptionally fine man will remain in my heart forever and my life has been immensely enriched and blessed by having known him. Thank you Neil for the fine example that you left for us to emulate. May your spirit continue to touch our lives.

Take Care,

Your light will shine forever in our hearts,Neil.
Love and prayers to Peg and family.

Peg, I just found out about the passing of your husband. I'm so sorry to hear this. My sincerest condolences to you and your family.

We send our sincerest condolences. Mr. Neil was an amazing person, who will forever be in our hearts.

I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. This is true of Neil. He has had a great influence on me from the time he was the principal of the school where I did my first student teaching, being a new principal and he coached me though building a budget, and being a colleague who shared a commitment to  United Way. Through these interactions Neil has left an indelible imprint in my memory. I know I have and many others find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared a working relationship with Neil. 

My thoughts are with you Peg and family as you make meaning of Neil's passing. Peg a children's book has been donated to Prince Charles School in memory of Neil. 

Sincerely
Heather Raymond

Peg, Logan and Craig our deepest sympathies on the loss of our old neighbor and good friend Neil. He will be sadly missed.

Heartfelt condolences to the McPherson family on the loss of Neil.  Having worked with him through many contexts in Edmonton Public, I came to know and treasure his compassion, sense of humour, integrity and great modesty.  May it be a comfort to reflect with wonder at the many many children and teachers whose lives he touched.

To the McPherson family (clan)- we extend our collective thoughts and prayers. Neil was a very 'special' person to you and to all who had the pleasure to meet him and or work with him. May the memories of Neil warm your hearts. Such is life!

My sincere condolences to the McPherson family.  I came to know Neil while working at EPSB through his work with the United Way.  Neil was such a friendly and genuine man who brought positive energy each time he came to my office.  He always talked vividly about his children and grandchildren, who clearly brought him so much joy and happiness. He will be missed.

A wonderful human being with whom I shared many good times during my years in Edmonton from 1974-1987 as fellow season ticket holders for the Esks, Oilers and many early tee times at Sturgeon Valley. The Central Alberta Open shared with Neil, and the rest of the McPherson clan, will always carry special memories for me. You can now take all the no count gimmes you want Neil!  
My condolences to Peg,Craig,Logan,Alex,Jamie,Hugh and Lynn!

My sincerest condolences to the McPherson family.

I had the pleasure of working with Neil on Edmonton Public Schools' United Way campaign. He was the sweetest person, always making people laugh with his unique sense of humour (and golf tales).

I'll miss him and his warm smile.

To the family of a dear co-worker, who will be truly missed. It was so wonderful to see Neil when he came to visit at our office. What a truly remarkable person. My heartfelt condolences.

Logan, Peg and Craig - out hearts are with you. What a wonderful man.

MCPHERSON FAMILY
Please express our deepest sympathy to your family.
Although my wife and I worked periodically with him at Zebra for a short period of time we did 
definitely feel his compassion to the
children involved whom he dealt with.
He will be missed by a lot of people.

Dear Peg and family,
Please accept my sincerest heartfelt condolences on the loss of your beloved "Neil". May you take some measure of comfort in the wonderful memories you have of him and the legacy he left behind. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Blessings
Angela Padovani

I was very sad to hear of the passing of Neil.  I had the honor of working with Neil for 3 years at the Zebra Child Protection Centre.  He was a wonderful man who gave so much back to the community.  His compassion and caring nature for children will never be forgotten.

The inevitability in no way diminishes the finalality. Yes, we are hurting on the loss of our beloved Brother. But our endearing memories of his life, well lived, will fortify us for ever. Neil raised me up, I aspire to to be like him. Neil never, ever, in our presence, had a maligning word toward any of God's creatures. 
See you at the Great Golf Course Neil, where there are no sand traps.

Let us all celebrate a great and wonderful life. Neil was above all else a teacher and a mentor: With family, students, the disabled, mentally and physically, his compatriots and colleagues. Neil, we are sad that you are gone, but we are enormously more pleased that you lived.  Dominus Vobiscum Brother.......
