He also remodeled many businesses and homes in the Boulder City/Henderson area. Neal and his Company built the new expansion on the Boulder City Hospital in the early 80s - then Neal and Ned established their own company and worked together for 20 years. He built the "home" he went to heaven from. He is survived by his son Ryan, older brother Ned (Valerie), sister DeAnn (Jamie) and family, brother Jeff (Gloria)and family, and many nieces and nephews.
