Remembering Ned Coll for his unwavering and very brave commitment to the poor and voiceless, at a time when such noisy activism was not always welcome. May your light always shine and your devotion always serve as an inspiration to others!

I became friends with Ned in the 1970's, when his father Dan became a client of my Home Care Services business. Ned had a heart of a lion; he saw the injustices people suffered and made it his life's work to honor the pledge of our Consitiution, that all people are to be treated equally. Ned had a huge impact on everyone he met and was a mentor to many. Thanks, Ned.

He was a legend and a cornerstone of Hartford giving. RIP.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I worked with Ned for the Revitalization Corps in the late '60s tutoring, painting apartments, collecting toys for kids and so much more. I value that experience. Condolences and prayers to his family.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
