Born and raised in Ramat Gan, Israel, he was the son of Mayer and Ida Rubinfeld of Israel. Neal served in the tank corp of the IDF and then moved to the United States to pursue a degree in computer engineering from the City College of NY. Upon graduation he moved to CT to work at United Technologies.

Neal is survived by the love of his life Sarah, who he met at the age of 17 and who moved to the United States with him to start a new life together. They were happily married for 65 wonderful years. He is also survived by his beloved children: Barry Rubinfeld (Karen), and Sharon Linder ( Peter); his cherished grandchildren: Jonathan (Morgan), Jordan (Eric), Jake and Josh; his brother David (Gail) of Florida, and extended family in Israel, along with many nieces and nephews.
