Ned old buddy - every day I look at your smiling face strumming that guitar in the photo on my fridge and remember all of the ways that you enhanced my life (as you undoubtedly did for many, many others), and am inspired to do the same in my life. I'll always miss you, but will always remember you.

Dear Taft Family, I played ball with Ned - remember the game he broke his leg. Have not seen Ned in years but have fond memories of a happy fun loving guy. My sincere condolences to family and friends.

At Englewood School for Boys ('68), Ned was always a smiling and playful presence, whom I well remember as a thoroughly decent guy, well liked by everyone for his sense of humor and his expansive, robust, approach to life. I offer sincerest condolences to his family and friends.

Dear Libby,
There are no words to convey my sadness at the loss of a very special person. Ned was an inspiration to all who knew him and will be forever missed. It was a pleasure to work with him for so many years; it was a pleasure to know him and call him a good friend.
My sincere condolences to you and your family.

Dear Libby,
I know it's been years, but was so sorry to see that Ned has moved on. Great photo. I remember enjoying seeing you and Ned and your kids down at Fred and Lynn's in Princeton, some Columbus Day celebration many years ago. He was such a great dad.

LIBBY, I AM SORRY I WAS NOT ABLE TO BE WITH YOU AT NED'S CALLING HOURS. I AM SO SORRY THAT HE IS NO LONG WITH US. YOU WILL HAVE A LOT OF GOOD MEMORIES AND THEY WILL HELP YOU THROUGH THE NEXT DAYS AND WEEKS. I WILL THINK OF YOU OFTEN AND WISH YOU PEACEFUL DAYS. JANE P. NEALE

Dearest Lib and family - Please know I'm with you in spirit right now and thinking of you. What a treat Ned was to the world - how much we all miss him and will continue to miss him. As soon as I can dry my tears, I want to honor him with a big hearty laugh, like so many of the laughs he gave to us.

I'm going to miss you buddy. I'm going to miss cracking you up and talking about The Who with you. Mostly I'm going to miss your energy and optimism and superhuman ability to see the possibilities in everything. I love you Ned and I know we'll see each other again someday in a place you undoubtably have made even better. Peace...Joe
