Our deepest sympathies on the loss of your Dad and Granddad. We feel very blessed to have known Ned. Jane worked with Deacon Ned at Red Door Clothes. She often took him grocery shopping and to Walgreen's on their way home from RDC. He truly loved the people he served at The Gathering and at RDC. He was a spiritual guide to Jane. He shared stories about his kids and grandkids. He will be dearly missed. Jane and Dave Johnson

Deacon Ned was a constant presence at the Red Door Clothes Ministry at St. James in downtown Milwaukee. (2007-2017) He prayed with us at the beginning and the end of each shift. He always greeted us patiently, and I believe he genuinely loved the guests who visited the ministry, as well as us volunteers. The world has lost a dedicated servant of God. Bless you, Deacon Ned.
