I was privileged to know Ned and his wonderful family. When I was struggling to grow in my career, Ned was very supportive. Always my advocate when he didn't have to be.
The world is a better place for Ned having been here. I will miss his kindness, his dry sense of humor and that wink he´d give you if he let you in on the joke.
My sincerest condolences to Sharon and all of Ned´s amazing family.
