Ned Joseph Pauley

PAULEY, Ned J. “Toothpick”, 62 of Land O’ Lakes passed away Friday, September 21, 2007. He was born in Cleveland, OH and moved to Florida in 1973. He had a special ability to analyze an idea and foresee and solve any problems long before any task began. So when he said “stop and think”… shame on you if you didn’t. He worked for Florida Power. In 1979 moved to Valrico where he owned and operated Three Sons Nursery. In 1985, he came to Pasco County where he retired from TECO after 31 years. He carried on his nursery and for fun, he ventured into the world of hi-tech D.J. and Karaoke. He was honest, took great pride in his work and would settle for nothing less. A man of his word. His loving family includes his wife, Patsy Gean of 21 years; three sons, Joe, Jeff and Jared; two stepsons: Jim Wright and Dean Vannucci; two stepdaughters, Kim Winters and Wendy Gomez; sixteen grandchildren and three great grandchildren. hn glover death datepsychology and lung cancer
