The ABC's of Ned

Children's book in loving memory of Ned Goldberg. Illustrated by Gripless (Zach Weinstein). All proceeds benefit JCRS — the non-profit where Ned devoted his career to assisting Jewish children across the south.

In the 1980s, Ned nearly published a comedic manuscript titled, "The Single Man's Illustrated Dictionary." However, he soon met his wife Wendy and lost all credibility within the singles community. In 2023, as Ned's disease progressed, his wife and children, Wendy, Jodie, and Adam, decided to write a children's book as a creative coping mechanism. Ned, along with this family, wrote this book highlighting all of the Ned-isms from A to Z. This marks Ned's long-awaited published debut. Ned was an avid fisherman and a collector of rocks, shells, souvenirs, close friends, distant cousins, and stories. In his lifetime, he cared for two dozen turtles, a vibrant fish tank, and had a deep love for all living things and helping others. Ned loved being a husband and father above all else. All proceeds benefit JCRS — the non-profit where Ned devoted his career to assisting Jewish children across the south. May his memory be for a blessing.
