On behalf of my family I wish to pass on my deepest condolences to Judy and all family members. Ned and I first met at Camp Barriefield, Kingston (the old RCEME School), 1966. Throughout the years our paths and postings crossed six different occasions, always with a litre or two, rejoicing and reminicing. The last time I had the ""HONOUR of NED'S COMPANY''" was at my nephews wedding David and Robin Elliott in Sterling, Ontario. The same table if you can imagine. Ned always jokingly referred to me as the Rookie, as he had one year up on me from his Aussie Service, his 39 to my 38, both retiring in 1996. An "" AUSSIE PINT to you MATE"". ARTE et MARTE. Ginette and Paddy.

My deepest sympathies to Judy, Sarah, Hugh and the friends and family members who knew and loved Ned. Ned was my godfather and my early childhood memories of him were of a charismatic, handsome man with a warm smile and lovely Aussie accent. I hope your fond memories of Ned bring you comfort during this sad time.

~ Tara Elliott

Ned and I first met in 5 Combat Group Valcartier. He was the godfather of our daughter Tara. Over the years we reconnected with Ned and Judy in Germany, Ottawa and finally London. Ned and I had many great times, his sense of humour was well known. Maureen and I will miss him greatly. Our deepest sympathies to Judy and family.
