He also attended LSU. Throughout his life he enjoyed playing softball in numerous leagues including the Knights of Columbus, E.D.

He also coached baseball at Lakeshore where he touched the lives of many young players and also chaired many of the festivals and fairs. Ned was a member of the Cabrini’s Dads Club where he particularly enjoyed Jazz Fest parking, and to this day, they still serve his famous Bloody Mary’s. Later in life Ned was proud of his competing in the Senior Olympics and the Gold Medal he earned in weightlifting, he held the record for many years. We would also like to thank Odessa and Catherine of One Touch Sitting Service, and Nicole, Michelle, and Martha of Passages Hospice for the excellent and loving care they showed to Ned. To his dear friend Kenny who called him everyday and said “Captain, look for the sparkle.” Now Ned is the SPARKLE.
