Edward 'Ned' William Eschleman TRENTON Edward "Ned" William Eschleman, 84, passed away on March 31, 2019, at Capital Health Medical Center in Hopewell. Born in Columbus, OH, he was a New Jersey resident for over 50 years. Ned was a graduate of Ohio State University and received his master's degree from the Wharton School of Business. He served his country in the Army, where he received the Good Conduct Medal. He was a longtime employee of the State of NJ, working for the Department of Health and Human Services. A devout Catholic, Ned never missed Sunday Mass or a Holy Day of Obligation. He was a parishioner at Blessed Sacrament Church, where he served as lector on many occasions. In later life, he joined Our Lady of Good Counsel Church. Widely known for his kind and gentle manner, Ned was a loyal husband, devoted father and caring grandfather. Characterized by Midwestern mannerisms, Ned would often greet people with a "How do?" and respond to inquiries of how he was doing with "Fair to middling!" Always willing to lend a helping hand, Ned took the greatest pleasure in helping others succeed. After retirement, you could usually find him outside - whether the yard actually needed tending or not. Ned is survived by a son, Thomas Eschleman and his wife, Maria; a daughter, Annemarie Greve and her husband, Daniel; three grandchildren, Sara, Emily and Leah, and a sister-in-law, Rosemary Maltese. Family and friends are invited to gather for a visitation on Thursday, April 4, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Murphy Funeral Home, 935 Parkway Ave., Ewing. A Mass of Christian Burial will take place on Friday, April 5, at 10 a.m. at Our Lady of Good Counsel Church, West Trenton. The interment will take place privately. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers Missions. For more information, please visit murphyfh.com.

Dear Annmarie and Tom, it was with great sadness that JoAnn and I learned of Ned's passing last Sunday. He was a cherished neighbor and fellow Alumnus of U Penn. Countless times as I was leaving the house to meet a client, Ned would be out in the front yard diligently manicuring his plantings and trimming the lawn.( And I must say that I have NEVER seen a cleaner more tidy garage) He always stopped to speak with me and I cherished his wisdom and good humor. He is truly missed. Requiescat in Pace Dear friend.

Dear Tom and Annmarie,
Sending my deepest condolences for the loss of your father, Ned was truly the kindest being ever. I have such fond memories of your visits to Columbus and especially back in 2009 when our little Ned and I came for a visit. Again, so very sorry.
