My thoughts and Prayers to you Gia, Bella, Dean (Ataman) family and also to the Maltese family who grew to love Neil as well. He truly was a "gentle giant" whose love for family and friends will never be forgotten. He was so loved and respected by his casino family, the loss we feel will be forever in our hearts. I so believe my sentiments for his casino family will agree, he will be forever missed, never forgotten, he was truly a great guy. Rest In Peace Neil...God Bless You All...

Dear Gia . I was shocked and so sad to hear about the passing of Neil. I used to see him everyday at school when he picked up Bella. It was easy to see the love between the two of them. Gone too soon.

Gia, your husband was a very special man. He was apart of some of my fondest memories growing up in the Ataman family. I remember the endless hours of music playing with Neil on the drums and Dean on guitar. They were going to be famous. Neil was also huge wrestling fan. One summer he went to visit his cousin Terry & Denise in Welland and come home with the “Molson Mountain “ . That was it. He would practice his moves and throw me around the pool like a rag doll. He even became the Canadian Moose on the local circuit. He just loved to try things and have fun. Endless water balloon/gun fights. He could mix you any kind of drink you knew.( and some he made up). He was full of love to share with everyone he met. He will be missed but will be kept alive with the stories we all have to share with Bella about her dad.
