Neil Weisthal

Raised in Cleveland by his beloved mother, he graduated from Shaker Heights High School in 1968 and Kent State University in 1972 with a degree in Communication/Journalism. A delight in recent years has been reconnecting with friends from Moreland Elementary.

Neil first worked in radio as a news announcer at several AM stations in Ohio and Kentucky before moving to television producing and reporting in Ohio and North Carolina. For over thirty five years he enjoyed working and seeing the world as a flight attendant for Presidential and Northwest/Delta Airlines before retiring last year. His news announcer voice impressed all who heard it.

Neil will be remembered as a loving husband, a warm and devoted father, and beloved grandfather. His love of music, zest for travel, interest in news and newsmakers, knack for knowing obscure facts and details, ongoing curiosity, and pure love will live on.

Surviving are his wife of nearly 25 years, Karen, daughters Carly (Anthony Gerardi) and Melanie (William Yeager), their mother, Linda Weisthal, grandchildren Morgan, Holden, Ellie, Carson, and Isla, siblings Roz Spiesman, Bob Westal, extended family and beloved cats.
