Conesus: At age 90, Neal passed away peacefully on August 6, 2024, at Noyes Hospital in Dansville. He was born on June 20, 1934, to the late Grover and Eleanor (VanVleck) Dunkleberg. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his sister and brother-in-law, Noelle (Raymond) Walker, sister Gail Mann, brother, Jay Dunkleberg, and brother-in-law, William Loeber. He is survived by his wife, Cecile (Sabik) Dunkleberg, daughter, Karen (Fernando) Savella, stepson, Louis Polizzi, sisters, Linda Loeber and Dana Bosson, sister-in-law Nancy Dunkleberg, Grandchildren, Jonathan (Hajin), Aaron and David Savella (Kisaira), Jenna Polizzi, Janay DeLisle, and Jessica Yttrie. Great grandchildren Ada and Vivian Savella, and several nieces and nephews.

Neal was a ‘larger than life’, outgoing, people-friendly, (in fact a people-seeking) person. He went out of his way to meet people – at a wedding, a restaurant, or wherever he was, and was regularly the life of the party.  Kids were always delighted by him as he got down to their level and talked with (not to) them.

Neal was one of the smartest men most had ever met and he was a teacher and mentor to many from a young age.  Many of his best friends are 15 years or more his junior.  If you had a question, Neal usually had the answer, be it something about psychology, medicine, astrophysics, chemistry,  nuclear weapons – the list goes on – as his interests were wide and varied.  One could find just about anything in his library.  He was funny, witty, and compassionate. His knowledge, wit and sincerity made him sought-after and loved by folks from 2 to 102.

Not only did Neal know facts, he knew how to do things.  He built his home (with a bit of help) in Conesus, he was a skilled writer and editor, he knew how to fell a tree that he couldn’t get his arms around, he could carve leather, he could cook, and so much more.

Neal loved to sing – always waking up singing a song – and could move from Opera to The Who to Tom Lehrer without a hitch. We can hear him singing still…

Neal had a positive influence on just about everyone he met and will be dearly missed by all who he touched.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, September 8th from 1-5 PM at the Willow Creek Venue 3100 Rochester Rd., Lakeville, NY 14480. Neal will receive Air Force Military Honors at 1 PM. Memorial contributions can be made to Genesee Valley Conservancy, 1 Main St, Geneseo, NY 14454. To send a condolence or share a memory please visit: www.doughertyfuneralhomes.com
