Conni,
The service today was a beautiful testimony to a great man and you and Cindy, in your eulogy, made those of us who didn't know your dad wish that we had had that chance. The music and words painted a beautiful picture of this very special person.

Ned was both our milkman and our fuel oil man. Later in my life he was a friend who always had a friendly smile and thoughtful words. But what I remember most is his kindness to my mother in her declining years when he deliver fuel oil. He always had time to chat with her when he knew she was mostly confined to her home. She appreciated his company and his concern. And I appreciated him, too.
I'm sorry for your lost and have you in my prayers.

Conni and Cindy,
You are in our thoughts and prayers. Words alone cannot express to you how much your dad meant to so many people. Ned and Dot were so good to my children as part of their youth group and we have many good memories of experiences with them ourselves. May God bring you peace and comfort.
