Beloved husband of Doris Gilmour (nee Myers) for 66 years and devoted father of Neil III, John and Christine Kaighn, all of whom survive him. He is also survived by his brother, Richard M.

For many years, he tirelessly gave his time to St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Moorestown, NJ and Good Samaritan Center in Camden, NJ. He is fondly remembered by his family for his constant love and support, his deep interest in building and repairing almost anything, camping vacations, weeks at the New Jersey shore, especially Beach Haven, fishing, sports prowess, love of the Philadelphia Flyers, and being an all-around wonderful guy.
