Obituary of Edward McNeil

Edward "Teddy" McNeil passed away peacefully July 11 at his home in Ft Myers, FL. Survived by his sister, Joyce (John), his four children, Jane (Hugh), Jonathan (Chrissie), Charlie (Dave) and Andrea (Adam) as well as his seven grandchildren. Dr. McNeil was an ER physician at Northern Westchester Hospital, as well as a dedicated volunteer at the Bedford VFD. He was also a great advocate in the education and diagnosis of Lyme disease. Proud of his Scottish heritage and a great lover of Irish music, he was never too far from his guitar, banjo, harmonica, bagpipes or penny whistle and often seen in his kilt. He is the author of poetry and short stories, an avid cartoonist, painter and wood worker. Medicine was his profession and art and music were his passions. At Teddy's bequest his friends may commemorate the occasion by buying themselves flowers and a bottle of favorite spirit and making a toast to his memory or donate to their favorite charity as a remembrance.
