He was 85 years old. The son of Cornelis Vanderloed and Barbara Casey, he was born on June 17, 1939, in New York City, New York.  

Neil was a true New Yorker from 30th Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenue and lived a life of adventure on the city's streets, hit by cars numerous times, he could be found drinking at Beno's bar. His friends called him Neilie. He had one foot in the 1950s and 60s and the other in the 2000s. Trained many sheet metal mechanics by screaming and threats of violence but was on hand when they needed backup. Danced a mean Lindy Hop and was a great swimmer. He had a fantastic memory of numbers and song lyrics. He was an avid skydiver, completing over 600 dives at Gardiner and Stormville airports. Owned a Harley and many trucks. He loved his wife, children, and grandchildren, though he often distracted them with his antics. A true Vanderloed, he relished the drama and couldn't resist one last opportunity to create the last "Neil" story.
