Warren Sparrow forwarded this email he received from Holly Jones, Neil's daughter dated May 28, 2016:
Dear Central High Grads,
Dad has taken a turn for the worse. He is currently in the hospital in Monroe experiencing kidney and liver failure. He is very fragile and is experiencing cognitive difficulty.
Please keep him in your prayers. He loves you all. When I told him about the email last week, he was very grateful.
Be well loyal friends,
Holly
Let's all keep Neil in our prayers.
