He was a huge supporter of Santa’s Hot Rod Helpers, he did what he could to help those less fortunate. He will be greatly missed. I would like have the next Santa’s Hot Rod Helpers Show be in Ned’s memory. With family permission of course. Amber I will miss your dad as we all will.

  24. It is hard to put into words the way I feel. I am so happy that we got to reconnect for the last 5 years. I would be so excited to get his daily emails and I’m sure he felt the same way. He was the bright spot in my daily routine. He was a giving man that loved his family. We had so much fun as kids. I can still see Ned and Kenny laughing and joking around. We had that special close cousin bond. He will be missed by everyone that knew him. Looking forward to seeing you again.

  37. Ned had the biggest heart…so giving to so many. I would hear lots of stories how he would give of his time and money to those who needed it. From reading his obituary I discovered that his grandparents were my neighbors growing up. So now I know why I liked Ned so much. He will not be forgotten and Pueblo is a sadder place because he is gone.

  38. Ned I hope you can read this from the next world. Thank you for making the chieftain a great place to work. I wish you were still there.
