Alex Neil was born in Inverness on November 27th, 1930, the eldest of 14 children, to the late Dannie and Elizabeth (Bennett) Kennedy. In his younger years, he worked in the woods and hunted and fished with his brothers. He loved to cook up his partridge, deer meat and trout and it was “mouth-watering”. He was a “Die Hard Toronto Maple Leaf Fan” who loved to play Auction, crib and tarbish and enjoyed a drink while doing so. He’s had many good “drinking buddies”, over the years and we’re sure they’ve got “a bottle in hand”, as we speak. He had a heart of gold and was kind to all and loved by all. He lived a simple life and was always humble and gracious. He will be lovingly remembered by his sisters and brothers Ernest (Donelda), Inverness; Angus, Inverness; Don! nie (Diana), Inverness; Gregory (Irene) Dunvegan; Jacqueline (John), Mississauga, Ontario; Josephine, Port Coquitlam, British Columbia; Johnny, Dunvegan; Irene, S.W.
