Anita & family, u r in my thoughts & prayers during this time.
Anita, U may remember me back when u work at LJ Dolloffs 120 Delaware Ave yrs back. I often stop 2 drop something off or 2 pick up something.
I met James & u once (Christmas party?).
U r a great couple. I wish I had the opportunity 2 have known him more like I know u.
While it's hard that he's no longer here physically, he's here in spirit watching over u all.
May he rip!

To the Neenan Family, I was saddened to hear the news of your Husband - Dad - Grandfather - Coach, and friend to many passing away! He was very special to me in a couple ways - I first meet him trying out for Freshman Football at WSW. He was a tough but very fair Coach who stuck by me, and set me on my Football path that was very fruitful! I know his teaching of Hard Work, Dedication, the will to Win, set a great foundation for me playing football, and being successful in life and work! I always loved running into him at the Big Guy Golf Outing, Irish Center, and where ever else! He always had a smile, curious of how life was going, and always asked about others who played during those years. He will always be special to me!! I will not be able to make his service due to being out of town, but please know my thoughts and prayers are with you all!! Sincerely,
Dennis Hartman

My Condolences to the Neenan Family. Coach Neenan is someone I will never forget. I played football for coach Neenan in my freshman and senior year at West Seneca. In our senior year he guided us to an 8 - 1 record and I regret that we couldn’t get him an undefeated season. We lost our last game, not due to the coaching, but due to the way each player played that day. We were not up to the task and for that I apologize to Coach Neenan and for not getting him that undefeated season.
I had not seen Coach Neenan since I left high school, until in 2020, he respectfully showed up at my mother’s wake. He was 91 years old at the time and I will never ever forget that. I wouldn’t have that that he would even remember me. This truly showed what kind of a man Coach Neenan really was. After all those years to show and give his respect to me and my family is something that I will never forget til the day that I die. May you rest in peace Coach and until we meet again, thank you.
