In Memory of Neil Osmer Neil was the undisputed Mayor of Active Wellness Center Petaluma. He greeted all the swimmers and loved nothing better than being surrounded by and talking with friends. He had a big heart and plenty of tie-dye.
Neil found time to say āhelloāĀ to everyone, with grace, happiness and with no judgment. He made every single person who crossed his path (or walked by his seat by the pool) feel welcomed, important, special, loved and not overlooked.Ā
He taught us all how to be friends to each other. He brought brownies, and organized swimmer lunches. He loved handball, biking, cooking, backpacking, his neighborhood, friends, and dogs.
Born November 22, 1952 in Watsonville, he passed in late September, and will be forever loved and missed by our community of friends.Ā
