Not sure what to say?

Omy....so sad. Rest in peace Ned. You were the sweetest and funniest. May your family and friends have the loving memories to help them cope with losing you.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Ned was one of the younger guys in our group who lived and played on 79th street and grew up into men there. Later in life Ned would tell stories of the people and places from that time in the old neighborhood. To everyone, Ned was their friend.
Rest In Peace old friend.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

My condolences to the family. I am very sorry for your loss. May you receive strength and peace from God. Romans 15:13

I wish to extend my condolences to you for your loss. May God give you comfort and peace during this time of grief.

Words cannot describe how sorry we are for your loss. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers in your time of grief. We will never forget what a wonderful person Ned was. He was a colleague and a friend. He was always happy, full of life and made us laugh. We haven't seen Ned in quite a while but had recently been in touch. It was always a pleasure to speak with him and reminiscence of times gone by. Ned, my friend Rest in Eternal Peace. Larry & Barbara

Born January 22, 1953, Ned was raised in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn where he met the love of his life, Joanie. They spent the last 44 happy years building a beautiful life together, first in Brooklyn and then in their beloved Montauk. Ned lived in the moment and loved watching beautiful sunsets on the beach with Joanie, taking care of his cherished ‘65 Corvette, and spending time with family and friends. He made those around him feel like old friends, and he brought a smile to the face of everyone he met. He and his wonderful sense of humor will be very missed, but all who loved Ned will always remember and hold on to the good times we shared until we meet again. May he rest in peace.    -    -    -    -    -    -    -    -    -    -    -In lieu of flowers, the family has requested donations in Ned's memory to:
