I will always remember Dr. McNeil as being one of our most devoted and enthusiastic supporters, as well as a friend to us all. His love of chamber music seemed boundless, and I have many wonderful memories of the lengthy discussions we had after concerts.

He was also a warm, honest and often very funny presence in our "community". We will miss him very much.

We were fortunate to have met and befriended Dr. McNeil at many Philadelphia Chamber Music Society concerts over the years, and enjoyed the many comments, critiques and outspoken reviews he shared with us. His knowledge of music and musicians was extensive, and Ken was our 'go-to' person for a scholarly opinion on the concert - good or bad. We respected and admired him greatly, and will miss him at Philadelphia musical events this year and beyond.

With sincere condolences,

Selma and Samuel Savitz
