My mom, Connie Warner, used to work auctions for Ned on the weekends. I was just a little girl. He treated me like a granddaughter. He would have me run food and drinks and receipt tickets during the auctions, and at the end he would give me a $5 bill. He made me feel useful and important. Still makes me smile, just thinking about it. Ned holds a special place in my heart. I still have a marble he gave me, over 35 years ago. It is in a box with all of my treasured memories.
As my own father passed away over 40 years ago, Ned became "my father" and was an inspirational influence on me. In particular I learned from him a lot about power tools used for garden/yard work - for example I had never used a chain saw before and he showed me how to set it up and use it - although he nearly lost his leg as he let me loose with it....! More recently, I have spent a lot of time with him, caring for him and taking him to doctors office visits etc., and have been amazed at how much he was adored he was by everyone we met/encountered; also by how many people we met either knew him or were related to him..! I was also inspired by his deep faith and love, and I'll never forget his smile and genuine gratitude for all that we were doing for him. Having seen how much he has suffered with his various health issues, in recent years, I am grateful that he is finally found relief from his pain/discomfort - I love you Papa - I expect that you are resting in peace with your Lord. God Bless You. And thank you for your love and support to me and Lisa, and your grand-daughters, Catherine and Caroline. John Gadsby - son-in-law.
I felt like I was seeing a special friend on the zoom meetings. I had a first cousin who was born on the same day as Brother Ned. She was the first of eight children born to my Aunt and Uncle. I want to send my prayers to Sister Jeannette and all of his family. It was a joy to see his smiling face.
What a beautiful man! Always smiling. Thanks for caring about my parents. Praying for his wife, family, and friends. See you on the other side.
A humble man, Ned and Jeanette were very good neighbors to my Mom and Dad
Our deepest condolences and prayers for the family.
Prayers for the whole family
Rest in peace dear Cousin. I loved you dearly and will miss your smiling face, which you kept through declining health and bodily weakness. I will cherish our visits and conversations until we meet again!
A Great Man ! Some of my best memories were Sat. mornings with Ned calling a Stanly Co. auction.
