Ned spent his life enjoying many things which included riding motorcycles,

daughters, Deborah Font, and Melissa Balfantz and husband Sean; son-in-law,

father, George Font; brothers, George and Teddy Font; and sister, Geraldine
Hicks. Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend the
funeral service from the chapel of Brandon G. Thompson Funeral Home, west
