    Unfortunately never knew Ned's immediate family and always associated my friendship with Ned thru MS Consultants. What a great guy. Condolences to Ned's family and my friends at MS Consultants. Hard to believe Ned was 84.

    Ned was my coach at West Mifflin high school in 1968. We still tell stories about Ned. He was a big influence on my life. He will missed but not forgotten.

    Ned was my Principal, and as I got older I learned to respect what a GREAT and caring guy he was. However, and most important to me, he was my Friend. I will forever cherish all the fun and laughs we had; he definitely was "one of a kind". Until we meet again Ned, may you Rest In Peace! Erin O'Leary White

    Ned was our defensive coach at Carnegie Mellon University from 1971 through 1975. A hard nosed competitor with a great sense of humor. Every time the ex players get together there are many good stories about the coach. His legacy will be remembered through our stories. I am sorry about your loss. Bob Pyzdrowski
