It was a privilege and a joy get to know Neal over the years. There was never a visit where he didn’t have something witty to say. I will miss the many laughs. He was a favorite and I will continue to think of and pray for the McQueeney family.

I did not know Neal well. My son, Ryan is friends with Lachlan. Ryan and I were just talking and both agreed our fondest memory of Neal was when Ryan was over at their house about a year ago for Lachlan’s bday. Ryan had just gotten a cast taken off for a sports related injury. He was jumping on the trampoline and someone landed on his finger that had just gotten the cast taken off so he started freaking out. Luckily I was still there to calm him down but Neal immediately came to Ryan and helped him. He asked him questions and made him laugh. I was so thankful in that moment because I knew how upset Ryan was. I knew then just like I knew when we first met Neal that he was a great guy. I wish we would have known him better but am so thankful our boys became friends and getting to know Jill has been lovely because she too, has a heart of gold. We are praying for the McQueeney family and will all be here for support.

I knew Neal from elementary school at St. Clement. He was a great guy, good friend and would give you the shirt off of his back if needed. He will be dearly missed. My hope is that Ethan is taking good care of you. Much love to your family. Love always Sean Leonard

I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. I was Fiona and Alex’s daycare teacher way back when. Neal’s drop off line of “be good, be kind, be smart” stuck with me for years.

I met Neal when he first opened Midway Dispensary. He was such a good guy. He always called me Stramamama(even tho my last name has been Oberholtzer) n I loved it. Brought me back to my school days. Always a smile on his face. Such a good guy. Cannot believe he’s gone at such a young age. I’m so sorry for you loss.

Our hearts are breaking. When we moved to the ‘burbs of Chicago, we we lucky to become friends with a few families that quickly became family — bday parties, holiday parties and Labor Day lobster fests. The first time we met at Hannah and Alex’s ballet class, you had me in tears from laughter and I immediately knew our families would be friends. We are so grateful to share the times we did, including coaching the fierce “Heat” ponytail league. 🧡 We have so much love for you and your family. Rest in peace dear friend.

Neal was Sean's (my Son) Classmate at St. Clement's Grade School. I remember taking care of him and his Brother for a week while his Mom was out of town. He was always so fun and joyful. I know Sean has wonderful memories of him. What a loss for all of us. He was a shining Light! Peace and Love to his Famiy! Mary and Sean Leonard

I became friends with Neal in 6th grade at St. Clements. Neal and a bunch of friends would meet up and walk around the neighborhood surrounding the school just looking for things to do. We frequented the Century Mall, chasing each other up and down the ramps/stairs when we grew tired of window shopping and people watching. There used to be a seedy arcade on Broadway and Diversey called Times Square where we would dare to wander and take Photo Booth pics when we had the money. I will always hold Neal in my heart as someone who loved his friends and could always make me smile. I will always remember him telling stories, being silly and having a big heart. Peace be with you friend!

My deepest condolences, and all my love. Neal was too good a man to be take so young. I consider myself lucky to have had the opportunity to get to know him, even the little bit that I did, over the last year or so.
