Richard (Ricky) McNeil (30 Mar 1942 - 26 Feb 2018)

I have thought long and hard about what I would write here and still not sure words can fully describe my feelings! From Santa Claus to hero, from my first football game to my first date and for everything in between you are my rock, I miss you and will always love you. 💙💙💙

Always a lovely person who showed great kindness to my family. I will never forget your smile.
Rest in peace Ricky 💙

Except for my daddy you were by far my best male person in my life and furthest memories. Even when slapping my hand away from face every time my nails were being bitten I loved you so much and even now I still bite them I think of you nearly every time. Always made me smile,laugh and greet normally at same time. Being at yours for new year and in the holidays are still to date my fav times in life and will never forget you. Always felt safe and loved so much in your presence. Love you forever my fav uncle ever.! Sweet dreams uncle Richard 💙

Mr McNeil (as I called you as a kid) Thank you for giving us 2 wonderful women in your daughters Heather & Kirsty. Sometimes in life the smallest piece of advice given when you are young can stay with you for a lifetime so I thank you for the little chats and advice you gave me when I had no father figure in my youth. Rest in peace xxx

Born in the same bed so we always had a special bond, you were always my happy place, I always loved your stories could listen forever, The moment I introduced you to my husband Richard you both had an amazing relationship, I will always love and remember you with all my heart.. RIP my bestest uncle ever... Till we all meet again xxxxxxxxxx

To my favourite uncle you made me laugh and you made me cry . You made me feel always loved . I’ll miss you dearly but I’ll never forget you love forever your niece Lynn xx
