dear Catherine and Family.  My prayers and thoughts are with you at this most difficult and precious time. Neil was the person who brought me to'christian meditation'. I wondered how such a fiery, clear thinking and brilliant man who was so active could find this time.  He did and then so did I. I am forever grateful to him and his example. With great respect and sympathy,       diane brescia

Dear Catherine:
Please accept my condolences on the death of your husband. Although I have not met either you or your husband I feel I know you through your book and as I read Neil's obituary I can see that he is an accomplished writer and broadcaster. I know he will be missed by his family and many people.
Sincerely,
Julie Parker

Deepest sympathies to Neil's family. I enjoyed his broadcast for many years. Was happy to have had the opportunity to meet him on several occassions. May you all be spared further sorrow.

Hi there Catherine
I am a friend of Bill W.
and to me that exactly what Neil was to me.
He showed me the way as no one else could have done.
I always looked up to Neil and truly admired him and knew that his wife must have been a very special Lady.
I used to as him to speak for me whenever I was chairing at a meeting and he Never declined.and always helped soo many people with his Strong yet Soft message.
I will never forget him and my love goes to You especially and the rest of the family.

              Love Roslyn

I remember Neil Mckenty as a very understanding interviewer. When he asked me if I would speak on air about a piece I had in the Gazette, I said hesitantly that I would, but that I would be nervous. His response:"That's 
 my problem!"  What a thoughtful and helpful answer, and it worked.
God bless him!

My heartfelt sympathy, Catharine. I have fond memories of my association with Neil at CJAD. He was an honest, honourable man and a total professional. I know he will be greatly missed by many.
- Bill Hambly (Collingwood, ON)

Dear Catherine ... having worked with Neil since 1977, whenever I needed advice, I could always count on him to be  honest, truthful & non-judgmental. He touched so many people. I will miss his  kind smile and peaceful soul.
