"Big Man With a Bigger Heart"

My family first met Neal E. Boyd when he was 12 years old in Sikeston, Missouri. My daughter, Misty, and Neal became friends and have continued that friendship through the years, even after our family moved back to Potosi, Missouri. Neal would come visit and spend a couple days. Misty and Neal both attended SEMO for a couple of years. We have traveled many times, many trips...SEMO, Columbia, Sikeston, to watch Neal preform. Neal has such an amazing voice, but his personality is even more amazing! He could easily be a comedian too. His sense of humor can reduce you to tears. He has a heart of pure gold. When my Mother died in June of 2000, Neal was attending college at Columbia, Missouri. He immediately dropped everything and came to be with the family. He sang at her funeral and it was like the voice of an angel. We love Neal with all our hearts and consider him part of our family. He also sang at Mistys wedding reception. Neal is so deserving of achieving stardom. He has been a star in our eyes ever since we first met him.
