He is preceded in death by his father, Philip Coggins and “Buddy”, the bulldog.
Neil is survived by his loving mother, Lilian Jones; adoring children, Victor Coggins and Michael Coggins (Jessica); sister, Sandra Coggins; grandchild, Nicholas Coggins; and dog, Bella.
Neil enjoyed travelling, cooking, and sports of all kinds. He especially enjoyed attending Saints games and his son’s soccer games. Always gregarious, Neil never met a stranger and had friends all over the world. He looked forward to assembling Legos with his grandson Nicholas. He was a lover of food and spirits which he preferred to enjoy with one of his many groups of friends. He was looking forward to the future when his youngest son, Victor would join the family business. Every year Neil looked forward to visiting his family in Argentina.
