Neil Stronach: Information Regarding Condolence Cards and Letters
Just saw that Neil Stronach (s.v.p. of Ops Control at Delta) passed away yesterday at age 46. Way too young, he will be missed 
IIRC, he was one of the speakers at the 2010 DL DO.
EDIT: Here's the notes from the presentation:

Our condolences and prayers with his family and friends at DL. I do remember Neil's well put presentation at the DO last October.

I looked for an obit, and found this from 2006. If this was his son, then his family has had two deaths at a tragically young age.

I am deeply saddened to learn of Neil’s passing. I had the chance to talk to Neil about the FT event in 2010 as well as the OCC in general. It is clear he was extremely passionate about his role at Delta, and I am sure he will be greatly missed. My very deepest sympathies to his colleagues at Delta, and most importantly, to his family.

Thank you Canarsie for posting Neil's pic.
I recognized the name but can now remember him from the ATL DO.
Way too young, he seemed like a really nice guy.
My deepest sympathies to his family.

I would second all that has been said above. I knew Neil and had briefly met him on a number of occasions. He and his family lost their son a few years back, and sadly tragedy has again visited their family. They'll all be in my prayers.

Info regarding condolences cards and letters
We will arrange for delivery of condolences cards and letters directly to the family (in one delivery).
*In NYC:
I will have a card here (in office) for people to sign, and I will make sure to bring it to the LGA/JFK SC later this week. You can also sign/write your own card, and send it- we will forward them all together
(Please PM me for address)
If you do live in the city, you can also coordinate/call me about it (PM for details). My office is 15 minutes from LGA, and I live in Manhattan (so you can easily catch me). Please PM for details as well
*In ATL:
We will arrange to have another card at ATL (in one of the SC, most likely) so that you can sign/write in when you connect at ATL. More details will be posted later.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and his friends at Delta.

Never met Mr. Stronach, but thought those of you who did know him or know of him might appreciate this obituary.

The condolence cards have been received by the wife of Neil Stronach and — from what I understand — she has requested four more copies of the card I created which represents the general thoughts and wishes of FlyerTalk members.
However, I cannot take credit for the condolence cards — it was the idea of DLroads, and his thoughtful gesture has definitely made a positive impact on the family of Neil Stronach. Thank you, DLroads!
I sent a .pdf copy of the card to one of my contacts at Delta Air Lines, as well as a link to this FlyerTalk discussion, a link to the Neil Stronach Presentation 10/21/2010 thread, and a link to the photographs of Neil as taken at the Delta Air Lines FlyerTalk Event by longing4piedmont, whose photographs are suddenly far more valuable than ever.
This information will eventually be passed on to the widow of Neil Stronach, who may be viewing this thread. If you want to post your condolences, by all means please do so in this thread.
Thank you to all of the FlyerTalk members who contributed to this effort and showed a true sense of caring by our community.
