Ned & I spent many hours remembering the good times we each experienced at Penn State, working for DuPont at the Louviers Building and living, for over 60 years, in a small town called Newark, Delaware. He always had a warm smile and a “big” “Hello” for all. He will be missed by many. Rest in peace my good friend, rest in peace.

I am so sorry that Ned has passed, I will greatly miss him. I met Ned through the Newark Sr Ctr where we had many great times together with many groups of friends. We went on many trips to casinos in Atlantic City and Harrington together as well as dinners locally with a group of friends over the last 15 years. All my times with Ned will always be some of my most happiest of times and I will always remember his smiles and happiness.

Enjoyed chatting and getting the funnies during my military career. Great Uncle Ned always kept in touch with me while I was overseas and ensured I knew family never forgot. I’ll miss my empty email box, empty texts, and just emptiness.
Rest Peacefully
