Funeral Services for Neal Allen Eck, a Fairview area resident, will be 1:30 p.m., Wednesday, February 1, 2012, at the Fairview Funeral Home Chapel. Burial will follow in the Cedar Cemetery. Arrangements are by Fairview Funeral Home, Inc.
Neal A. Eck was born in Homestead, Oklahoma on February 7, 1938 to Walter H. and Susanna (Eck) Eck and passed away after an extended illness on January 28, 2012 at the age of 73 years, 11 months and 21 days, while residing at the Fairview Fellowship Home in Fairview.
Neal attended various rural schools and completed the 8th grade at Isabella, OK. He continued his education and graduated from Fairview High School in 1956. While at home he helped the family with harvest and other farming operations.
After graduation he moved to Tulsa where he entered trade school to learn skills relative to the textile industry. He was employed there for a time. In 1959 he moved to Wichita, KS and began employment with the Boeing Corporation. Later he entered the aircraft mechanic field and was employed by the Lear Siegler Corporation. During this time he worked at numerous places all the way from Maine, Georgia, California, and Washington to Hawaii and Alaska. In 1966 he joined TWA and again he continued to live a very mobile lifestyle as the new company transferred him quite frequently. It was during this time he established a new home in Las Vegas, NV. His last years of employment were spent in the St Louis and Dallas-Ft Worth areas. Due to health problems he took a medical retirement in 2000 and moved back to the family farm in the Fairview area.
Neal enjoyed playing the guitar, watching baseball, working puzzles (crossword and jigsaw), traveling and shopping.
Neal is survived by three brothers Vernon and wife, Ruth, of Edmond, OK, Jerry and wife, Barbara, of Yukon, OK, Walter and wife, Kay, of Enid, OK and four nieces and their families.
Preceding him in death were his parents.
