Newlon Family,
George was an outstanding human being. He was the first friend I made at St Brigid's Church 6 years ago. I then had the privilege of being his doctor. We had great talks and he is someone I truly admire. A fun man, a great man, a great American.

Dad,

You were a good father and a fun golfing buddy. I am grateful to have had so much time with you while others just caught snippets. I have always said that you learn a lot about a person when you golf with them. You were a true gentlemen on and off the course.

I hope all your tee shots are downhill from now on!

I love you and you will be missed by all.

Your golfing buddy forever,
Jim
