Neil attended the University of Alberta on a Royal Bank Muir Scholarship, graduating with a Bachelor of Commerce with Distinction. His career included banking, entrepreneurial endeavors and establishing the Alberta Trade/Travel/Education office in the Canadian Embassy, Seoul, South Korea. The Simpsons fell in love with Asia during their extensive travels in the fifteen year period. Nature and researching coffee culture were Neil’s passions. He spent many happy times enjoying both at their cottage on Saturna Island, BC. We will deeply miss this decent, quiet, honest, loyal champion of the underdog with his wry sense of humour. Annyung Hi Gye Se Yo my friend, until we meet again. Condolences may be forwarded through www.mcinnisandholloway.com.
