Thinking of you and sending caring thoughts and prayers to you as you grieve Ned's passing. May the Lord give you comfort as you face each day. As my tears fall, I also remember cousin Ned's great sense of humor and how he was so quick with a funny comment or joke about the 'peculiarities' of life. We will miss him dearly. Love, Kathy

I’m sorry to hear about Doc’s death. Ned and I visited almost every Thursday in Bucyrus, while he stopped at the sale. Had many a healthy discussion about livestock issues,but probably discussed the Buckeyes games more! Rest in peace my good friend.

I spent a lot of time at the Cunningham house as a teenager, and got to know "Sheryl's dad" well. He often engaged us in thought provoking conversation about life, and challenged our young perspectives, which were very misguidedly confident and idealistic at that age. For example, he did not think the Smashing Pumpkins or Nine Inch Nails would leave a lasting musical legacy as epic as The Beatles or Rolling Stones. I adamantly disagreed, and assured him he would be proven wrong over time. His amusement increased the more I argued, which propelled the conversation until I gave up or he pretended to concede that we would just have to wait and see. Well, of course Ned was right, and I'll very much miss and regret not getting to tell him so. Sending all my love to the family, and to everyone who will miss him dearly.
