Visitation was held at St Anne's Home for the Elderly in Milwaukee at 9 a.m. on May 19 followed by the Mass of Christian Burial. Burial was at 3 p.m. May 19 at the Savatorian Cemetery at St Nazianz.
Fr. Neil, born William Joseph on Jan. 29, 1929, in Hewitt, WI, was one of seven children of Isadore Lawrence Seidl and Anna Katherine Reinert. He attended St John's Grade School in Hewitt from 1934 to 1941 and St John's School in Marshfield and attended the Salvatorian Minor Seminary in St. Nazianz, Wisconsin, where he completed his high school and two years of college. He made his first profession of vows on September 8, 1948.
From 1948 to 1954 Fr Neil attended the Catholic University of America where he completed his philosophical and theological studies. He was ordained to the diaconate by Cardinal O'Boyle on Sep 30, 1953 at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC. Fr Neil was ordained to the priesthood by the Reverend John M McNamara on June 5, 1954 at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception and offered his first Mass of Thanksgiving at St John the Baptist Church in Marshfield on June 13, 1954.
Fr Neil also pursued graduate studies at Glassboro State University in Glassboro, NJ and Pennsylvania University in Philadelphia. In 1966 Fr Neil began his doctoral studies at the University of Maryland and earned a PhD in math education in 1970. This degree prepared him for his years of being a professor and department chairman at Dominican College of Racine from 1970 to 1974. (Dominican College closed in 1974.)
In 1974 Fr. Neil moved to the West Coast to assume the duties of principal of St Pius X Prep in Galt, California. He remained there as director of the St Pius X facilities of the diocese for one year. At this time, Fr. Neil became very involved in the Cursillo and World Wide Marriage Encounter movements. After serving for several years as diocesan spiritual director for the Cursillo Movement he became associate pastor at Holy Cross Parish in Bryte, CA, from 1981 to 1985 and associate pastor of St Charles Borromeo Parish in Sacramento from 1986 to 1987. In 1987, Fr Neil joined fellow Savatorian. Fr Bob Mariscek, S.D.S. to begin a new Salvatorian parish in Orangevale, CA, which merited the name, Divine Savior Parish.
In November, 1990, Fr. Neil discovered a tumor on his neck that was diagnosed as a low grade nodular lymphoma, a slow-growing cancer. Fr. Neil continued his ministry at Divine Savior Parish until shortly before his death.
Fr Neil is survived by two sisters, Tessie Probst of South Milwaukee and Mary Chrouser of Stratford. He was preceded in death by his parents, Isadore and Anna; two brothers, Paul and Herbert; and two sisters, Barbara Seidl and Kathryn Saviage.
