Eternal Rest grant to him Oh Lord, and may Perpetual Light shine on him. May he rest in Peace. Amen.
A kind and helpful person.
Though I only had the pleasure of meeting him a few times, Neil was someone who instantly made you feel comfortable. He was so vibrant, charismatic and kind. I will always remember and be grateful for the time my house was broken into and he and Donna welcomed me into theirs until my alarm system was up and running.
I am so deeply sorry for his loss. They don’t often make men like Neil nowadays.
My deepest
May he have Eternal Rest. Doñna my heart goes out to you, I feel your pain. Neil was a véry careing and loving person. I pray the good Lord strengthens and comfort you. Germaine
My sincere condolences to the family
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. May he Rest In Peace
God bless
Winston and Sandra
Our hearts are broken for the loss of an amazing man. The love that your family shared can’t be measured. It showed in every event, prayer and hug I’ve experienced through the years. Thank you for including us in those memories.
Dear Donna and family, Our sincere condolences to all the family. Neil was such a devoted family man. We admired his energetic spirit, his intelligent, inquisitive mind and his love for our culture. We have fond memories of our families together as Meghan and Jodi were growing up and whenever Jeff would visit. His spirit will live on in our hearts. Miguel.Itah, Sojourner
I am so sad that you’re gone brother. Rest in eternal peace.
May he have Eternal Rest. Doñna my heart goes out to you, I feel your pain. Neil was a véry careing and loving person. I pray the good Lord strengthens and comfort you. Germaine
Dear Donna, Meghan, Jodi, Brad & Garett:
We are so sorry that Your Husband & Dad has died. We can only imagine the pain of your loss.
We all fondly remember Neil as our “big cousin,” full of life and knowledge that we all wanted to know. He always accompanied our uncles when they visited and we all looked up to him.
Our hearts go out to you and your families. Gary and I were hoping to see him at our cousin’s wedding last October and were looking forward to our next visit. So much grief. So much sorrow. We can never replace him but know that we are here when you need us.
Much love always Juana & Gary, Gary Ronson, Rachel & Keira. 🤗🤗❤️
Neil was a great dad, husband and friend. I was really happy to have met him and gotten to know him. My deepest love and sympathy to his family, especially Jody, Donna, Meg, Ryan, Jackson and Abby. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
My sincere condolences Jodi and family! May you get through this difficult time through prayers and comfort from friends and family!
Our deepest condolences to the entire Neil’s family. May the Lord bless him and give comfort to the rest of the family. Sending love and prayers! The Alfonzo Belgrave family
Deepest sympathy and condolences to Jody, Donna, Megan, Ryan, Jackson , Abby and Brad in the loss of your precious and courageous Dad, Husband and Grandfather. God bless all of you!
To Donna and Neil’s family, I am very sorry for your loss … for our loss. As I think of Neil today, one thought is that I wish our paths had crossed sooner. As a colleague, I admired his leadership and that he made work fun. As a friend, I loved that he cared so deeply for people – co-workers, friends and family. I will remember his sense of humour, accompanied with twinkling eyes and a mischievous smile. I will remember his kind and gentle heart, and his always available listening ears. I will miss you my friend. Rest In Peace.
My deepest sympathies to Jody and her family at this time. My heart goes out to all of the family. God Bless you all, and give you the strength that is needed at this time of great loss. Rest in peace!
I was friends with Neil in Trinity College in Trinidad, Neil was very good to me and even protected me from danger as i was younger. His sister Chrisentia was married to my elder cousin Ramesh, and i was introduced to Neil at their wedding. We reconnected on whats app a couple of years ago, and i was blessed to have known him. Condolences to his wife Donna and the family. May Neil rest in peace.
Deepest condolences to Neil’s immediate family and extended family. There was a special bond between Neil and his family. I experienced, lived and felt part of that bond for 25 years of my work career. Others felt it too. From a work perspective, we shared the same values to try everything in our power to do right thing and help navigate companies, customers and partners through insurance software. Not the most exciting topic to most, but if you ever talked about reinsurance or earthquakes, Neil would get excited and talk your ear off! Sometimes (many in early days) our missions meant late nights away from our families. We both thrived on that adrenalin and then the sweet sense of accomplishment nailing a demo. I also had the opportunity to travel the world with my dear friend for work and pleasure. We always had a blast with so many belly laughs and memories I will always treasure. Neil would often come to me for gift ideas and would always think of his girls before himself. That’s who he was. If I suggested he get something like a smart watch for himself, he would research for years haha. It was easier for him to give. His last words to me will forever be remembered as he always lovingly referred to me as his “work daughter” and then “work sis” as I aged. He was precious to me too. Rip
Donna, thinking of you & your beautiful family.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
Praying for your strength & comfort reminiscing the wonderful happy times shared with Neil.
Love, Joanne
My thoughts and prayers go out to Donna and family at this difficult time. Neil was truly one of a kind. Intelligent, cared for people, loved connecting with people, willingness to help others, positive thinker, enjoyed liming, easy to talk to and the list goes on. He is gone too soon.
Donna, My deepest condolences to you and your family! Sending a big hug to comfort you in this difficult time!🫂❤
I am shocked truly. I met him 2 years ago in a band-Twist of Fate. I would never forget his amazing approach and making me so welcoming to the band! Neil, you will truly be missed. Wherever you are Rest in Peace my friend.
Donna my dearest sister Neil was like a brother to me I share your pain…God will look over you and your family in his name.
Love you
My deepest condolences to Donna and the rest of the family. Neil was truly a family man, he could go on for hours chatting about them. He was a pleasure to work with, an awesome man. Gone too soon. Rest in Peace my dear friend.
Rest in Eternal Peace Neil my dear friend of over 40 years at IBWIL you’ll be missed. You’re going to your father’s house where there will be no more pain.
Deepest condolences Donna to you and your family.
Heartfelt condolences to Donna, Meg’s, Jody and all your family. Our lives were enriched the day we discovered that we would become family. Neil’s love for you shone like a beacon and drew in everyone who got to know him. His caring nature, dedication to family, humor and passion for life served as an example and made us better people for knowing him. We carry his memory, always, and know that he lives on in each of you.
Donna my sympathies go out to you and your family, Neil as I saw him at Church on Sunday was a very devout Catholic and a great husband and father, his journey is now over on earth, however his real journey starts now in eternal peace. May you have the courage and strength to carry on knowing his spirit will always be with you.
Take care Donna
Norma , Ozzie and Russell
Donna my sympathies go out to you and your family.Neil was a devout catholic, husband and father as he completes his journey here on earth, his eternal journey has begun, may he RIP and may you find comfort and strength in your journey knowing his spirit will always be with you. Cherish the memories and the love you two shared.
Norma
My deepest sympathies to you and your family. Neil was always the optimist in the group and was eager to help in anyway he could. He was a joy to work with and I am blessed to have spent a good number of years working with him. His table tennis prowess was well documented at Concise Technologies and his supreme insurance intellect always a wanted addition to any technical conversations. He was a very giving and positive person who will be sorely missed by all who had fortune of his company. RIP my friend!
A great man.
There are no words to express the loss that I feel.
“We will meet again and our hearts will rejoice!”
My deepest sympathies to Neil‘s family
I only met Neil a few years ago
he was genuinely so helpful and reliable
just a really nice guy
God bless his family and give them continued strength
Rest in peace brother
Dear Brother and friend, you’ve gone to your long home. May peace be with you.
Condolences to the family from Kilwinning Lodge.
Godspeed my dear Friend and my Brother. Neil was both, and the best one could ask for; I was blessed to share our brotherly love. His gentle kindness and unwavering strength of character gifted all whom he touched in his life. As a friend he was caring, thoughtful, supportive, and steadfast, regardless of life circumstances. As a Mason he was a leader who inspired each of his Masonic brethren in his gentle, kind and supporting manner, in his commitment to Freemasonry and his brethren, and in his unwavering dedication to excellence in West Gate Lodge. Neil was a man of deep conviction and of ready compassion, dedicated first and always to his love of Donna and his wonderful family. He left us far too soon to be with God, but in living gave each one he touched the finest memories of a man of great courage, of grace, and of love. Neil, rest now my Brother, your love and the warmth of your signature smile will remain with me until we meet again. My deepest sympathies to Donna and the Sammy family in this time of loss. Wishing you Gods peace and healing.
For the family of W. Bro. Neil Sammy. . .
Our sincerest condolences and offer of prayers.
“Lord, now lettest thou thy servant “Neil Sammy” depart in peace, according to thy word.”
“We cherish his memory in our hearts.”
From class-mate ages ago to a true friendship that evolved and deepened over the decades. I will forever be privileged and honored to have shared so much with Neil.
To Donna, the immediate family along with the wide circle of cousins and others with whom Neil shared DNA, condolences on behalf of myself and his Trinity College Class of 1970 brethren.
Count me as one whose life has been bettered and forever enriched from seeing how Neil lived his.
Rest in peace my brother.
I thank God for the gift of Neil Sammy. He was a wonderful man and my memories of him are all truly beautiful. He was a grace filled man and has gone to his reward.
My dear brother Neil if you are looking down from heaven you can see the tears falling down my face.I will always remember you as a kind,loving,caring and humorous person always saying something to make me laugh whenever we chat. We were miles apart yet very close. You have left us memories to cherish, you are gone but will never be forgotten. Rest in peace dear brother until we meet again. Love your sister (Merle)
My sincere condolences to Donna and the family on this sad occasion. I know that Neil loved you all dearly and know that while this void in all of your lives will remain for ever I am also sure that all of the happy memories you have will provide much comfort and peace.
Neil was a gentleman a scholar and a good friend and will be dearly missed by many. We are all blessed to have known him and take comfort knowing that he is free of pain and resting in peace with all of the family that have passed before him.
My condolences to Neil’s family. I will miss you but never forget you. I’ve become a better person because of you. Rest In Peace my friend.
Our sincerest condolences to all the family. Neil was so bright and beautiful. He was upbeat and excited on every occasion we saw him. When he found someone with similar interests, he would be thrilled to discuss the subject for hours. We will cherish our memories with him forever. Sending our love to Donna, Jodi, Meghann, Ryan, Jackson, Abby, and to all the Sammy’s and extended family.
My sincerest condolences to you Donna on the passing of the love of your life.

To my beloved brother I love you and miss you until we meet again,
Love Suela
Our deepest condolences to you and your family, Donna. We were so sad when we heard that Neil was very ill a few days ago. Although our connections are mainly when we see each other at friends’ gatherings we admired how devoted you both were to your Faith. I remembered you mentioned that you attended Sat. Mass when you arrived, and I smiled as we always go to Mass before going to parties etc. Donna, this Faith and your love for each other, will help you through this difficult time. May God grant you courage and peace. And may God grant Neil eternal rest. God bless you and your family.
From primary school Neil was always witty and ebullient. He did not change.
The service was beautiful and soothing.
My condolences to his wife, children and grandchildren.
RIP Neil
I was only privileged to have known Neil since I joined West Gate in 2016, but I was always struck by the friendship and caring he evinced to everyone. Our deepest sympathies to Donna, Jodi and to all of his family. May they be comforted that he is no longer suffering. He will be missed.
Neil, my friend and Brother. The journey has been long and challenging but you are now in a better place and may God keep you in his care.
To your family, our thoughts and prayers are with you. May your faith give you peace.
Donna I am very sorry to hear of Neil’s passing.
Neil was a gentleman with a very kind soul.
He always had a smile on his face and a comment that would always make me laugh.
He will be greatly missed.
My condolences to you Donna and to your family.
You’re in my thoughts and prayers.
Dear Donna and family,
We are saddened and shocked to learn of Neil our musician friend passing.
We have fond memories of Neil during our many jam sessions that was organized by Winston Yee. It was more than the music we shared as Neil conversations and sense of humor were aways delightful. Neil was a great person overall and was never afraid to express his valid opinions. He is gone way too soon and will be missed but not forgotten.
Our heartfelt condolences goes out to Donna and the families at this somber time with the loss of your beloved Neil. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Wishing the families fortitude and love to carry on especially Donna and the grankids with their lives.
May Neil spirit Rest In Peace in Gods kingdom with timeless harmony and be reunited with his other loved ones.
Sincerely,
Maurice Lee and Elizabeth Gonsalves.
My Brother, it’s been 2 months and I’m still finding it hard. As much as you tried to prepare us for your transition. I continue to get flashes of the shared meals, the hysterical laughter and ole talk that stretch throughout your entire home on those days, hitting me when I least expect. I had always promised you that I will stop procrastinating from tomorrow, so in true fashion I’m only now getting around to expressing to everyone how much you are missed.
Your true Joy in life was Your Faith, Your Family and a Few other Favourite Things, like Football, Kaiso, Parang and Pan. Always very attentive at mass with the encouragement of a well-placed elbow to the ribs. And pilgrimages must have been a joy wagering who would be that one person to always be the last on the bus.
You lived your life with a sense of community and embraced and accepted my family for who we were, even when we were late with the callaloo. Bro. it was a privilege to have known you, and be considered as part of your circle.
You rejoiced and celebrated in life’s gifts and accepted all its challenges with a quiet grace that we should all be striving for. Never one to be complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I guess that came from, as your daughter said, your belief that God gave you just enough of everything.
So.. I know you good. I could just see you cracking jokes with the Angels, pretending to play the harp while you lead them in song singing. It is well, it is well, with my soul….
I just learned the news ☹️ I had a great time working with Neil at Guidewire, he was a truly team player, always there to help, very knowledgeable and a really good person to work with!
My condolences to Neil’s family, he will be remembered 🙏🏼
