After he retired from Cyanamid, he started Neese Auto Salvage in 1980, where he discovered his passion for running the wrecker service for the FHP. His adventurous spirit led him to many hobbies such as piloting his Cessna, taking fishing excursions in the Guppy, and hunting.

I to my realization, have been doing business with the Neese family for decades..
I always prefered bringing my patronage to Mr Neese, not because of proximity, but because of the good prices, custemer service and purchase policies. I look forward to many more years of purchases there; Lord willing.
My condolences and prayers for comfort.
