Sad news to wake up to this morning. Great man with a great sense of humour. The highlight of our friendship being our shared ownership of the Scarlet Pimpernel along with Trevor Tomlins. Many great race days. You will be greatly missed Gibby. My condolences to the family.

Thinking of you all at this very sad time.
I have such fond childhood memories of running up the road from Jack and Faye's to Neil and Jeannete's to visit. Neil always had a joke and had us on. Special memories.

To Alan, Tracey and family, So very sorry to hear of the passing of Neil. He has been a great mate over the years, from teens to old age along with your mother Jeanette. We had many good times over the years, from planning a cruise to South Africa in our teens to latter years enjoying catching up on the tour of Southland and all the Pirates do's. He will be greatly missed by Nancy and I. We are thinking of you at this sad time.
Love from Gary and Nancy Barnes
