Ned Ray Tardy, son of the late Lillian and Alfred Tardy, was born on November 20,1955, in Baldwin, La.

Some knew him as Ned Tardy, Sam, Iron Man, Bu Butt, Pap Pap, and Lil Boosie. However, his favorite expression was "I'm going by Ned Ray!" We, all his family and friends, love and will miss Ned Ray!

He was a 1974 graduate of Franklin Sr. High School, where he played football during his attendance. He later became a construction worker, working under the late Paul Hawkins for many years. He loved his family and his best friend, Rufus Navy, whom he was too quiet for.

Ned's memories will be forever cherished by his two daughters, Lillian Tardy and Jessica T. (Anthony) Garrett; special friend, Earline Tardy; two sisters, Yvonne Tardy and Linda Tardy Alexis; two brothers, Clifton Tardy of Ashton, La, and Joseph Tardy of Baldwin, La; grandchildren, Liana, Shawn, De'mon (DJ) and Dayshawn; godchild, Cornell Tardy of Baldwin, La; special nephew, Eric (Natalie) Alexander of Beaumont, TX; a host of family and friends.
