Obituary
Neil A. Yesu, 88, of Fort Myers, FL passed away Monday, August 21, 2023. He was born January 4, 1935, in Brooklyn, NY to Pasquale and Anna M. (née Nappi) Yesu. He was raised in Sprinfield, Massachusetts. He attended seminary and when he changed course he served in Korea with the army. Neil and Diane moved to Fort Myers, Florida after retirement. They never missed the cold weather.
He was at heart an educator. He taught English, became the Principal of Classical High School and then Principal of the newly built Springfield Central High School. He loved being with friends, watching hockey, listening to music, kayaking, traveling the world, playing bridge at Cross Creek Country Club, and making pizzas. He took on many leadership roles in the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Fort Myers but never sang in the choir.
Neil is survived by his wife of thirty-eight years Diane Buckley as well as other family members he deeply loved.
