Larry Thomas Neal, Jr. "Tommy"

VIRGINIA BEACH – Larry Thomas Neal, Jr. “Tommy”, 42, went home to be with The Lord on February 24, 2013 after a long courageous battle with cancer. He was born on July 8, 1970 to Larry T.

Neal, 10 years old; father and step-mother, Larry and Nell Neal; mother and step-father, Lena and Richard Walker; and many aunts, uncles and cousins. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Mrs. Frances Haddock, and Mr. William A. Haddock; fraternal grandparents, Mrs. Eunice Neal and Mr. Dixie B. Neal, respectively. Tommy was a loving and devoted husband to his beloved wife and a wonderfully loving father to his beautiful daughter. He had many remarkable accomplishments with anything that he set out to do. His career was in the field of information technology where he became a ‘blue screen’ master otherwise known as a computer wizard. His passion was sport fishing in the warm Gulf Stream waters off the east coast. His dream was to captain his own charter boat one day. He was an avid golfer and could give any professional golfer a great match. Tommy came to The Lord with his baptism at Rock Church in 2004.
