The news of Neil's untimely passing came as a great shock to me
and as I would imagine to all of us, especially as I gad spoken to Neil on Tuesday evening
about his unfortunate fall in the garden.

I will always remember Neil as the quietly spoken Scotsman who served Rotary to the full in his
various activities.
Neil before his retirement had a strong business career with Union Castle Line,
in his capacity as Director of Cayzer Irvine(Durban) and held the following positions -
the presidencies of the Durban Chamber of Commerce and of the Tendimus Society.

I quote Neil, which sums up the Gentleman "It is sad to see the demise of so many of the world's
passenger liners as I feel this is the last stronghold of gracious living left in the world today"
Clansman June 1970.
