tribute by Connie Kilb AlgeoNed:Always in a hurry - a great guy many never got to know. Remember when you rode the back of my motor scooter and yelled, "goose it, goose it" and I did and had to choose a pine tree vs. a car on Lakemont and hit the tree as you flew over the top and slid down the street - resulting in a broken collar bone (me) and lots of blood (you), but we healed. And remember you gave Mr. Kobosky some golf balls to soften him, but he gave them back - said he really couldn't use the orange striped balls that said "Fabians Driving Range"! You were a hoot Ned, we miss you. Thanks for serving your country in the Navy. God rest!
