I have retired from okmulgee county courthouse, l just learned of Neds passing...prayers for peace and comfort for his family!! He was one of the nicest people l have ever had the privilege of knowing, always ready to lend a hand or just an ear!! Your smiling face will be missed!! RIP
Ned was a good man whom I always enjoyed. Always had a story and a smile! He will be greatly missed😢

Growing up, my siblings and I spent a lot of time with Ned and his four brothers. Since there were seven of us Elliotts thrown into the Hodge mix, his father, Leonard, made sure that we spent most of that time together out of doors! I remember Ned as a gentle soul and I wish I had had more occasions to see him over the years. His dear mother, Lydia, was my mom's first cousin and good friend.

Awe so sorry to hear about my forever friend ! He gave me my very first credit at Otasco. I was 16 years old. Uhh I'm old now. I never seen the man without that beautiful smile on his face. Always made you laugh. You will be dearly missed Ned Hodge ! Love you bunches

Sure will miss that sweet man around elderly nutrition everyday. God takes the best. RIP Ned!
