Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and all the great times we shared! You were my best friend since we were 7 years old! You will always be in my heart for the rest of my life. We miss you terribly...

Kathy: I am so sorry for your loss. Ned was the type of guy that brought smiles to the faces of the Data Processing unit at Dickinson Direct with his great stories about the children. He will be missed by all. My prayers are with you and the family. He was way too young.

Very sorry for your loss. Many fond memories with Neddie back in the S.W. Ripley days - playing football, skating at the rink and going to Red Sox games. He was always a nice kid. Stay strong and remember all the good times.

I knew Ned from West Roxbury, and have many fond memories of playing football and whiffle ball in the yard behind his parents house. He was a great guy. My condolences to his family.
