Robert "Bob" Neil

Robert E. "Bob" Neil, 78, of Brockport, passed away at his home on Monday, November 18, 2025, following a lengthy illness.

He was born on March 1, 1947, in DuBois, PA, a son of the late Herbert and June Lockwood Neil.

On February 25, 1984, in St. Marys, he married Teri M. Meyer, with whom he shared a beautiful life for more than 41 years.

Bob graduated from Brookville High School, class of 1965 and later went on to earn his Act 120 certification and served his community as a police officer in St. Marys. He will be remembered as the owner of the 3 Sons Tavern and for founding Neil's Family Restaurant and Meat Market in Hazen. Later in life, he enjoyed a career as a food sales representative with W.S. Lee and Sysco, forging lasting relationships throughout the industry.

An avid motorcyclist, Bob had a deep love for his Harley, finding joy on special rides he shared with Teri and his grandchildren. His time spent at camp and on family hunting trips earned him the affectionate nickname "Papa Bear". Bob was one of the founders of the Allen's Mills Hunting Association, an organization that forged deep bonds among family and friends through a shared love of hunting and nature.

Bob served in the U.S Army Reserves, exemplifying dedication and commitment to his country. His involvement in the community extended far beyond his military service; he was a member of the St. Marys Legion, the Fox Township Firemen's Club, and the Brookville Eagles. Robert's passion for motorcycles led him to serve as the president of the Tricounty Harley Owners Group, where he fostered camaraderie and friendship among fellow enthusiasts.

In addition to his wife Teri, he is survived by one daughter; Angie Walter and her husband Dan of St. Marys, six grandchildren: Madelyn, Cole, and Jack Neil, Jake (Anna), Jayce, and Jayna Walter, and by a daughter-in-law; Kerrie Neil of St. Marys.
