Neil A. Textor

Neil A. Textor, 80, was born July 5, 1943 in Toledo, Ohio.

Neil passed among his family after a three-and-one-half year fight against Multiple Myeloma. 

Neil spent formative years in La Jolla, California, delivering newspapers, then from 1961-1999 at Safeway stores in southern California then moving to Grass Valley and Sutter. 

He and his family moved to Libby, Montana, in 1999. He had dreams of gold fever, which led him to areas such as Downieville, California, and trips to Alaska.

He would travel with family to Europe on occasion to try and culture himself, to no avail. His favorite pastimes were archery, golf and consuming American Idol and reality television shows.

Head elder and member at St. John Lutheran Church. 

He is survived by his beautiful wife Betty, whom he met in Grass Valley, his son Frank, and step-children Chris Liotta, with grandchildren Allen and Annabelle, of Forest Grove, Oregon, as well as Elissa Liotta, with grandchild Cassidy, of Beaverton, Oregon. 

A fisherman, a hunter, a golfer and a significant stint as your helpful hardware man. He will be sorely missed at his annual hunting trip with old friends, but will be remembered.
