Neil spent most of his life in the La Crosse area and owned/operated Jennings Appliance Service.

He will be missed for his keen sense of humor and ability to make everyone laugh and smile.

The family would like to thank Bill and Pam Bendel for their support and assistance over the last year and to all of his friends.
In lieu of flowers, memorials preferred to donations to Coulee Region Humane Society in Onalaska, WI. In keeping with Neil’s wishes, there will be no services.
He will be missed but not forgotten. He was a friend of our family and I recall him and my dad out in the garage talking old car stuff and also of him fixing our appliances. Wonderful man. Rest in Peace Neil from the family of Ernie Anderson.
I was fortunate to get to know Neil after Marcia passed away. Bill and I helped in a number of ways to empty his house to prepare for sale. Bill and Neil became best buddies during that time. Neil has left us with fond memories.
Neil and Marcia were the best friends and neighbors you could have. Yes…Neil could fix anything and Marcia could cook anything. Together they were like another set of parents to me. Neil missed Marcia greatly after she passed and during our visits we would talk about the memories we shared. I know they are both at peace now that they are together…..with many fond memories ~ Laura Lee – Fugina….
I met Neil as my neighbor at Heritage…..He was always such a delight to visit with and always good for a laugh….Sorry, I did not get to visit him when he moved to LaCrosse…..miss his good disposition…Blessings and sympathy to his family..
Neil was a great friend of our family. The friendship was several decades long. Our dad and Neil enjoyed many trips to Wyoming deer hunting as well as in Wisconsin. He was like a member of our family. He passed on our Dad’s birthday February 6th, I hope Dad greeted Neil in Heaven, that would be very fitting. We love you Neil, the family of Curt Davis.
My deepest sympathy to Neil’s family. I have fond memories of Neil being at my house growing up whether it was for a chat with my family or help with a repair. I last saw Neil at my dad’s funeral 5 years ago and he kindly dropped off a cherished gift for me at my house shortly after that. He was a kind man that left a lifelong impression on me.
I worked for Neil in 1980 and 81… I will always remember the fact that he gave a young guy a chance and that he taught me a lot. God rest hiis soul and my condolences to the family.
Neil was a great neighbor and friend. Together, Neil and Marcia were like family in the time that we knew them. My kids will always have great stories and memories of them both. I think they had that effect on everyone that knew them. I pray that Neil and Marcia are together and happier than ever!
Our love and condolences to Neil’s family. He was never shy about sharing his pride and love for you all.
