Recently found a POW bracelet with his name on it and the date of 03/17/68. Would be happy to send bracelet if a family member is interested in it.

Ned was a first classman when I was a plebe in the USNA 8th Company. I remember him as a gymnast, who helped us plebes build character by doing one handed pushups while we used both hands during nightly come-arounds to his room after evening meal, usually brought on by our inability to remember all the stuff we were supposed to remember at the dinner table. His toughness served him well at the Hanoi Hilton. I was privileged to know this patriot for a short time, and his example served me well in later years. May you have fair winds and a following sea, Ned.

I was proud and honored to call Ned a friend. He was a true patriot and a hero in my eyes and I am better for having known him, even for just a few years. Ned, your smile and wit will be sorely missed! Fair winds and following seas my friend...

A great friend, patriot and sportsman. Having known Ned for many years as fellow Naval officers,fliers and sailboat racing competitors his passing is a tremendous loss to us.

Ned was a great American and I am fortunate to have been his friend. I so throughly enjoyed waterfowl hunting with him and chit chatting about Naval Aviation and the prospects for a good duck hunt. He was fun to be around!
On behalf of Ducks Unlimited Maryland and the Annapolis chapter in particular, our heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to Donna and Ned's extended family.
America has lost a true hero and patriot.

We are richer for having known Ned. A loyal Maison Centrale shipmate, USNA neighbor, mentor to my sons, competitive sailor and Naval Aviator. USNA was blessed to have him so close and involved. Fair winds and following seas.
