So sorry for your loss. At least we know he lived life to the fullest! Although I won't be able to make it to the service, know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Hope, Rob, Noah and Lindsey

If Life is measured by the path one makes through it, Uncle Neil left one that is winding, wide and difficult to follow! I will hold the memories of him in my heart. Love: Bruce, Wanda, Barrett and Matthew Galloway

My name is Lori York. My family had the great privilage to know Doc this summer. We helped him move from Lynchburg to Shelbyville. I became his house helper once we got him settled in Shelbyville. I am truly sorry for your loss. I am glad that I got to know him.

Dear Family and Friends. I am so sorry for the loss of a good friend, colleague and classmate of the "Alliance Class of 98". Neil was our spirit and our motivator. He never stopped learning or doing: from developing veterinary diagnostic testing programs, disease eradication, public speaking, restoring John Deere tractors, returning to mixed animal practice... I will never forget him or his stories or his passion, nor will anyone who knew him. My deepest sympathy, Charlie Francisco

It is with great sadness that I write this condolenece. I know several memebers of Neil's family. Garrett, we have lost a dear friend and father. Rememebr the good times, the laughs, the stories, oh were there some stories and cherish those memories. The swine industry has lost an advocate and a true friend. We will miss him. Ron

Monica, we are thinking of you and your family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Love Robert and Cathy

Dear Dr Becker's family, We were saddened to read of your loss and wanted you to know how grateful we all were to have known Dr. Becker when he taught as an adjunct faculty for us at the Fayetteville campus. Please accept our sympathy and we will remember his service to and influence on many students. Sincerely, Motlow College Science Discipline Faculty Marcia Kribs (retired), Cheri Gregory, Chair

To the Family and Friends of Dr. Neil Becker: Rarely do we meet people who are a joy to listen to speak. I have had the opportunity to both serve and enjoy your father, grandfather, and friend. I served him as his optometrist (eye physician) in Shelbyville, Tennessee. During our first visit we discovered that we mutually enjoyed farming and swine. He seemed to have loved his late wife very deeply. He loved telling how they established the Lynchburg Clinic. She ran the front desk, appointments, calls, books, and business. I jokingly asked him what he did. Thanks to a good friend who will be missed. Our prayers for the family and friends. Dale Hasty

Dear Becker Family, I was so saddened to hear of Dr. Neil's passing yesterday. I wish I had heard sooner as I would have attended the service. I'm sure you are aware of this, but your father was one of the rare few that truly practiced medicine. His inquisitive mind, willingness to learn and teach and amazing compassion made him part of a special group of vets.... The originals. I loved him dearly and feel my life enriched by him every time I stopped in for a visit. He will be thought of often and missed in a world that he improved. Much love to his family, Abbie

I have known Dr. Becker and Garet for many years having been a colleague in the animal health business. We were very sad to hear of Dr. Becker's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with the whole Becker family in their time of loss. Perry, Kathy, Sarah Laura and Kevin.
