I will miss you friend.
While we were both patrollers, Neal introduced me to the Wheelmen, and beautiful routes in suburban Chicagoland.
I will miss you on the patrol in the winter, and on the Thursdays bakery rides in good weather.

National Ski Patroller Neal Barg,
Neal was on my Team 4 at the Birkie Patrol this year in Hayward, WI. Neal, Lynn, Dave, and I were successful on our 14 kilometer journey of the Kortelopet race. Having met Neal just a few times over the years, Neal was a pleasure to work with at the Birkie event. His passion for helping others in need by provided the services of the ski patrol were outstanding.
I know Neal had a great experience during the Birkie this year. His awesome skiing technique and first-aid skills were second to none. Better yet, Neal was a pleasure to be with at our events.
I will light a candle in your honor Neal.
God Bless you my friend.

Since I am a close friend of Janet Redstone, I knew about Neil from day one. He was a super athlete, and yet he was down to earth, very warm and friendly when it came to his social contacts. Neil was wonderful for Janet and filled her life with joy which made me happy. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

I first met Neal sixty-five years ago when we became neighbors on Kedvale in Skokie. We went to school together from first grade through college, and played Little League together for years. He was a wonderful and kind person and I will miss him greatly.

Dear Howard & Janet, Family & friends,

Today I witnessed how much Neil touched so many lives. He was very attentive and caring to Janet and Kate. and to his little brother Howard and all who knew him.
I am grateful for having met him on a bike ride with Janet and over lunch.

May his memory be eternal and a blessing,
( It was all too sudden & too soon)
