David was an amazing person. He gave a lot of his time and talents to the DEVC here in Colorado. He has been a positive influence and an encouraging presence for many people throughout the years we had the privilege of knowing him.

Hi Folks, David McNeil whom I worked with from 79’ at Honeywell in Colorado Springs passed away in April I discovered when trying to call him for the annual Pikes Peak race that we’ve been going to since 79’ and covering the EVs for the DEVC (Denver Electric Vehicle Council). He has a collection of EVs dating back to the first Sebring Vanguard Bob Beaumont CityCar in his backyard. Below is a link to send flowers/contact info. He is survived by his wife Martha and 4 sons/daughters. He was instrumental in keeping the DEVC going over the years as president and secretary , tirelessly doing the Newsletter for about 300 subscribers. I’ll be at the Start Line again this year June 23rd and Friday FanFest checking out the F150 Lightning Ford Truck racing with Romain Dumas who got the worlds record 2018 with the VW IDR 7min 57sec EV. No one (especially gassers with triple series turbos now) have come close the the EV worlds record and probably won’t this year in a truck EV. David always did an accurate job of covering this race printing the times, technical details of the EVs and interviewing the drivers at FanFest , tech tune and race day. He will be missed by fellow EVers in Colorado (where I lived before and visit annually). https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/colorado-springs-co/jon-mcneil-11755572 Best regards Mark in Roanoke VA Sent from my iPhone _______________________________________________ Address messages to ev@lists.evdl.org No other addresses in TO and CC fields HELP: http://www.evdl.org/help/
