Not sure what to say?

Ned was an incredibly interesting, intelligent and complex man. My husband and I first met him at Keewaydin, a camp for boys, located in Vermont. He was in charge of our son's unit and also ran the boxing program. Our son, now 29, maintained a lifelong friendship with Ned. In many ways, he was a wonderful grandfather figure who always remembered birthdays and always kept in touch. Ned spent time with us at our Virginia water house a few years ago and if I can find the photo of him on our...

Mr. Pollock was truly a good man. I fought under him at the Charlotte Boxing Academy for about nine years and he would truly do anything to help the kids involved. If it were not for him there probably would not be a youth boxing program in Charlotte.

We met Ned when living in Charlotte for 2 years during our IBM assignment from the Netherlands in 1984.
Our son Roger intoduced Ned to us.
The two of them grew close and Ned visited us regularly. He instructed Roger how to ski and play golf. After we left we kept in touch and visited Charlotte frequently. Ned arranged for our son to be member of the staff in Keewaydin summercamp in Vermont. In 1994 our son died due to a traffic accident.

I held Ned Pollock in high regard as I served the Charlotte office of American Express as Office Manager from 1977-1981. Ned was an inspiration to me and mentored my new career as a NASD representative
for the next 23 yrs.! I recall the retirement celebration of his 30 yrs.
as our regional vice- president and the many times he was instrumental
in the making of a career for those
who were willing to work, those who
were determined as he to make a
difference in the lives of...

Ned will be missed by all his friends and family. I feel he lead a honest good life. Not only will we miss him but what he did for others and our community. I hope that I will have accomplished at least half of what he did before its my time. My family will definitely miss him and remember all we learned from him.

Ned's Family, After WW II Ned and I were in the Army Reserve Unit in Asheville together as fellow officers for a number of years. Years later when he moved to Charlotte I was active in the Sardis Presbyterian Church when he joined. Ned was always active in some civic endeavor and a very personable gentleman. We are thinking of you at this time and will hold you in our prayers. We do hope in some small way it does help to know others do care. Joe Clark
