I want to express my heartfelt sympathy to the Newman family. Growing up on Cedar Rd., Chuck Sr. was a part of my childhood memories as well. I remember Don and Chuck Jr. being very fond of their Father. I hope that your memories will comfort you in this difficult time.
Very sincerely,

I will miss the way Uncle Chuck always made me smile. I am so glad he is no longer in pain. Hopefully he is laughing with Mom and Uncle Bud and we will see them all again in time. Bonnie, Don, Patti, Julie & Chuckie keep the good memories alive in your hearts and know he is at peace and without pain. I love you all and am sorry for your loss. Love, Cathy

We will all miss his good humor, his smile and his chuckle. I guess that is why we called him Chuck.

Bonnie, Nancy, June and families,
I was so sorry to hear about Chuck. Your family was a large part of my growing up. I remember all of the fun we had when we were kids. I remember Chuck could get his kite up so high it looked like a postage stamp and I couldn't even get mine up 20 feet. He also was the one who was sposed to keep hold of my bike when I was learning to ride. Of course, he gave me a push and away I went. I probably would never had learned if he hadn't done that. I don't know any of his children. However, I am sure they know what a special dad they had. My brother, Boyd, and I will never forget the Newman family. Just remember the good times, as I will. With my sincere sympathy.
