Margaret and Samantha Lundien-Skinner and the entire Lundien family.

Condolence: Sending prayers to the Nealy family - sorry for your loss.

Condolence: Hi Ardys, Just found out about Ed and wanted to send my condolences. You two were together a long time. I remember Roger and I always enjoyed being around you both. I’m living in Texas now but wishing you well and sending love.

Condolence: My condolences to the Ed Nealy family. Coach Nealy was my High School basketball coach from 1974-5. He was a rock solid mentor for me. I can still hear him saying to us at practice.." maybe they will put handles on the ball next year" take a lap. Great coach! Fond memories. May he rest in peace.

Condolence: My deepest heartfelt condolences to all the family. Prayers of comfort and strength during this time. I so remember Mr.Nealy from Bonner Springs High. RIP.

Condolence: Ardys, oh, the many memories of my time in Bonner. Ed let me share his office at Bonner Jr High (aka..Bob Clark). He made a difference in the lives of staff and students. He will be so missed. Many hugs!

Condolence: Rest in Peace, Coach. Thoughts and prayers for your family.

Condolence: Ardys, I am so sorry for your loss. Ed was a wonderful man and will be missed by many. Please let me know what I can do for you. Looking forward to seeing you soon. Nancy

Condolence: Diane and family Our prayers go out to Diane and her family at this time. May God be with all of you.

Condolence: Our family is so sorry for your loss. Ed was my mother's cousin, Shirley J Nealy Chambers (daughter of Horace L and Pearl Nealy). Mom loved her Nealy family so much and had such good memories of all.

Condolence: My condolences to the family. I am sorry to hear about Coach Nealy. He had a significant impact on me in high school. He taught me to drive, was my PE teacher and my position coach in football. I was his gym aid as a Senior and I worked for him at the old fun valley pool. I always liked him and respected him. He was honest and fair. Long after I graduated he attended my little brother Billie's funeral. I have always appreciated that gesture. Sorry that I will not be able to attend Coach Nealy's service. Rest in peace.

Condolence: Very sorry to hear of Ed’s passing. Have good memories of road trips to Ak-Sar-Ben with Ed, Eddie, Mr. Russell and CC. Our condolences to all the family. Jake & Lisa Esser

Condolence: I was shocked when I saw Ed's obit. I want the family to know that my prayers are with all of you. I will always remember our trip to Hawaii with him and Jeanne. God Bless.

Condolence: Wow , I just can't believe this. I had Mr Nealy as my PE teacher back in 72 at Bonner High. One of the neatest fairest men I've ever known . May he rest in peace.

Condolence: While serving as the head football coach at Webb City while Ed was the head basketball coach, we served as each others assistant on occation. Ed was the best football scout I ever had on staff. We enjoyed free time playing a little golf (me) and Ed playing a lot of golf and having a good time at a card table. Truly enjoyed his friendship. OAGAAG! (once a gorilla always a gorilla). Rest in peace Ed. Tom Gosch

Condolence: My condolences got out to all of those who were kin to Ed. As his second cousin, from Carthage, I was always proud of his accomplishments even though many of them resulted in Webb City beating Carthage. We both shared Tabitha Nealy as a great grandmother and it was great sharing stories about her, over the years, via e-mail. Amazingly, he was on my mind the day prior to finding his obituary. RIP, cousin Ed The
