As of today, he has not returned.

Yep, this is why I love this man and have since 1970 when I first met him. I knew he did this kind of thing and GOD LOVE HIM... for doing it quietly and now to be rewarded. I hope he got those dinners and those people know who did that wonderful thing for them! Kudos Neil, kudos to you!

[kslrn1663]

Does anyone know if Neil quietly made it back to Texas and got invited for dinner? What a wonderful thing he did for these lucky folks!...that's why I adore this man!!

[MrSanjavierino]

Always the man and my Idol since 1969

I have been a Neil Diamond fan for over 35 years. I happened to stumble across this video and can say that Neil has honestly restored my faith in humanity. In a world of uncertern days he still never lets me down. I could never put a number on how many times that he has been my rock in difficult times. May God bless you Neil!

God Bless you, Neil

Neil Diamond is the same "Class Act" he has always been. Other celebrities could learn a lot from this man. My all-time favorite singer since the early 70's ... Who could ask for anything more than Neil Diamond. God bless him!

I loved you most of my life, now I really know why, you are an Angel.

God Bless Neil Diamond for helping people in need. But, lets not forget the people who are still here that need help. As in any tramatic event, there are people who are forgotten. As time goes by, the emotional trauma that we felt softens, and we move on the best we can, and we leave behind people still waiting on help. As a community we should make sure to help those people the best we can.

God Bless all in Oak Island

@stxshereec , thank you for those words. My wife and I spent the week end in Oak Island. You are right, many are "left behind". Some are doing quite well in the rebuilding process while others can't seem to get off "high center". I wish I had an answer. God bless YOU, my friend! KF71

The things people do for a living, or money, may show talent, and amazing abilities, but the things people do for strangers show the true beauty of a soul, and the kindnesses of the charitable heart.

Neil is an amazing performer, writer, singer, without question. How wonderful to know that his heart is as lovely as the words and music we know him for.

I've always been impressed with the talent, and I am doubly impressed with the man!

[68buickwildcat]

What would life and this world be without people like Neil? Wonderful decent human being. Now tell me you don't believe in heaven and angels. A good man!

[jrogers54]

Great performer and seems to be a very caring person. Thanks Neil.

[sunlady01]

Mr. Diamond is wonderful .He has given many people a home again. I think that's the most wonderful what an artist has ever done. Because nothing is worse than when one loses his house and his personal memories. The memories he could not give them, but a home. Thank you Mr. Diamond , you are an angel. God bless you

[Ndiamond5981]
