He spent his lifeprotecting the lives of others, and in his death he helped protect the future of thegreat profession that provided him with so much joy.Ned Packell, CLU ® , ChFC ® , MSFS,RHU ® , REBC ®“I remember him talking about insurance at the kitchen table since we were bigenough to sit there,” said Kimberly Deardorff, Packell’s daughter. “It was his passion.

It’s easier to sell something you believe in and he absolutely believed in insurance.”Packell was also a strong believer in education.
