Husband, Brother, Father, Uncle, Grandfather and Great-Grandfather. Our dad passed away early on March 13th, succumbing to pneumonia after coping with Myasthenia Gravis for many years. He was the second son born to Edward and Mabel Koshney in Beach, North Dakota. A gifted athlete, sports were a lifelong passion. In 1950, he headed West to answer Boeing's call for engineers, retiring in 1994. He married Jane Bailey, they had 3 daughters: Cinda (Kurt), Jan (Rene) and Nina (Joseph), who survive him. He also leaves behind grandchildren: Trevor, Mia, Casey, Jordan, Landon (Danielle), Christina, Jessica, Reed, Joni and Starr, and great-grandson, Taegan. Neale was very proud of his family. His brother Wes, and sister-in-law, Emma, in Cando, ND, and sister-in- law, Nathylie Claussen, Seattle, also survive him. Because animals were a significant part of his life, in lieu of flowers, the family suggests remembrances be made to the Humane Society.
