Robert B. "Bob" Neel
AGE: 86 • Wilmington
Robert Bruce "Bob" Neel, age 86, of Wilmington, DE passed away Friday, August 21, 2015. Bob proudly served his country as a MP in the US Army during WWII. He worked 40+ years as a GM worker and was a dedicated UAW Local 435 shop committeeman. Bob was quite the athlete and played football and softball all his life. He enjoyed building stock cars and was a force to be reckoned with on the track. Bob enjoyed living in Delaware City where he was well known and respected for his involvement in many community organizations especially the fire company where he was a lifetime fireman and ambulance driver. Bob never missed a day playing his lotto number. He was always a joker with a quick comeback for putting a smile on someone's face. He lived by the motto that "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."
Bob is survived by his 3 children: Cathy Douglass, John Neel, and Michael Neel; 4 grandchildren; and 2 brothers and 2 sisters. He was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Alberta Neel; his wife, Frances Neel; son, Bobby Neel; granddaughter, Bryana Neel; and 2 brothers.
A visitation will be held Monday, August 31, 2015 from 10:30-12 Noon in the Strano & Feeley Family Funeral Home, 635 Churchmans Rd., Newark, DE 19702 followed by a service in celebration of Bob's life at 12 Noon. Burial will follow in Delaware Veterans Memorial Cemetery, Bear, DE. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to Delaware City Fire Dept., 815 5th St., Delaware City, DE 19706.
