FAIRBARNS,

Philip (Bernie) Neil

20/02/1943 - 30/04/2026

Passed away peacefully after a long illness, with his beloved wife Anne by his side, holding his hand as they slept. Loving father of Mark, Craig, Sharon, Ben and Peter, treasured brother of Janet, admired Father-in-Law of Eva, Leah, Steve, Gilly & Sarah,

legendary uncle to Paul, Alex & Juliette, and adored Grandfather to 10 grandchildren and Great-Grandfather to 2 great-grandchildren.

Proudly served 10 years in the British Navy (joined at 15), followed by a career in off-shore international & domestic deep sea diving and later owning his own successful heating and air conditioning business for 30+ years.

Voraciously self-educated, indomitably willed, authentically kind & devoted to family, he will forever be missed and cherished.
