Sincere thanks for the devoted military service you gave to the people of this nation. May you rest in peace.

Newt was one of the kindest people. His laugh was contagious. He cared so much about others. Thinking of you all.

Dear Tim, Julie and the entire Spurr family -- my thoughts and prayers are with you All during this most difficult time. With sympathy and Love ~ Claudia

A good guy and a fierce opponent in golf
Friendly and always happy. The Bass Rocks family have lost a good one.

Judy & Family,
Losing a husband/parent is one of the most painful parts of life. We liked Newt very much and will dearly miss him. Our hearts are sad. Bob, Corinne & Jayne Tierney

I first met Newt in Junior High School in Reading back in the early 50´s. He has been a friend and we share so many fond memories with our families over the past 50+ years. A good friend, whom we will miss dearly, as everyone who knew him will. May he rest in peace. Our love to Judy and her family.

This book of memories is to serve as a record of the services you entrusted to us. We hope it will help to preserve treasured memories and that we, in some small measure, have helped to ease your burden and bring you comfort.
