Knew Ned for almost 40 years through church softball. He was an unassuming and humblest of men. He would go out of his way and took absolute joy in helping others. On one occasion I drove into my driveway and I "caught"Ned on a ladder trimming low hanging branches iny parking lot. Had I not seen him I'm sure it would have remained a mystery as to who did such a thoughtful thing. He was probably 75 at the time. As mentioned his ice cream was epic. If there was anyone in my life that epitomized the Christian values of service, kindness, benevolence and graciousness, it was surely Ned. I loved him and feel blessed to have known him.
