Thank goodness for Neil and his ski boat!  My life would not have been the same if he had not led us rowdy Explorers at a time in our lives when we were the most difficult to get along with.  As leaders of the youth, none surpass what Neil and Betty have done together through the years.

Betty, Marlys, Denise and Cheryl - 
We were so saddened to her of Neil's passing.  He was a wonderful neighbor and a treasured friend and will be forever missed.  Our deepest sympathy goes out to you and your extended family at this sad time in your lives.  Ed, Bea, Steve and Kevin Schwartz

I will miss you grandpa, all the times we spent at the cabin and all our xmas eves' together as a family. i wouldn't trade or take back any of the time we spent together for anything. the lord blessed me with the greatest grandpa anyone could have.  i'll never forget you and i'll always think about you.  you're were an amazing person and it was an honor to be your grandson and have you as my grandpa.  i love you so very much, and always will.

Hi.  My name is Linda. When I saw the name, Kleck, I read the obituary of your loved one,and saw that his mother was Peachie Kleck.  In 1967, I rented a room from her while I was attending Phoenix College. I don't remember meeting Neil, but I do remember meeting his sister Joy. I am so sorry about your loss, but I wanted you to know Peachie was a very nice lady, and I have never forgotten her, "La Casa en la equina" (I apologize for the spelling, as I do not know any Spanish).,but the house on the corner, will always be in my memory.  My heart goes out to you in your time of loss.

Betty you know we thought of you often, both of you. You were such great neighbors and missed Neil's friendly hello's when he was in his workshop, after we moved. Love to you and your family.

Cheryl..Just read about your Dad in today's paper & wanted to send my deepest sympathies to you,Doug & your entire family..it's always tough to say goodbye to a loved one but I truly believe that we all will one day re-unite with our loved ones in another spiritual existance...take care & remember all the good times. Sincerely,Mary Yeoman

Betty, Marlys and family- I was so saddened to read of Neil's death. Marlys and I went all thru school snd Camp Fire Girls together. I have enjoyed visiting with Betty and Neil as I walked past their house forever, stopping to talk about the "old" days. My heart goes out to all of you, and may his memory bring you strength in the tough days ahead. Sincerely, Deb(Boynton)Haas

Dear Betty, Marlys, Denise, Cheryl and Family, we were so saddened to hear of Uncle Neil's passing.  He was a great man and had such a wonderful influence in the lives of so many, including us.  He always made us laugh and smile.  His influence will be felt for generations to come.  We are grateful for the gospel he introduced Mom and Dad to, especially the knowledge that we can be eternal families. May that be of comfort to you at this time.  Love you all.

these  klecks are the dearest friends in the world,and neil will make the world a better place as we remeber all the good times.  we raised our families togethr and the memories are enumerable.  love you all as if you were our own.   keith and connie hall

We know he was a great man because you can see it in his family.  We send our love by way of Denise to the entire family.  May our prayers and gratitude for our Savior's love give you peace and comfort in God's eternal blessings.

I feel so blessed to have know such a great man and to have called him Uncle.  My heart aches for the family and wife he left behind, but I know that we will all see him again.  I feel that it was my Uncle Neil who brought my family into the Gospel of Jesus Christ and for that I will be forever grateful.  May Our Father's arms be wrapped around you  and comfort you at this time in your life. Families are forever.

I am so grateful to have known "Grandpa" Neil. Even though we are not technically family, he has treated me as if we were since the day we met.  My heart and prayers go out to his beautiful wife Betty and his equally beautiful daughters Denise, Marlys and Cheryl. We love you and will miss you. 

Until we meet again,

Dearest Betty, Marlys, Denise, and Cheryl:

I'm so sad for your loss, yet rejoice at the fact that you're an eternal family and can be with Neil yet again.  I have nothing but good memories of him and each of you.  What an inspiration he was in so many peoples' lives.  May His spirit console you and provide comfort during these trying times.  Love you all.  Judy McCoy Owens
