David E. "Newt" Newton

There isn't a day that passes that I am not reminded of Dave Newton.....we did the Jumble puzzles and I still do them so David is there everyday when I do the Jumble puzzle....Pat, is always in my thoughts also ....I have a picture on my desk of you and Dave and it always sparks very fond memories. Hope all is well.
Love and kindness,

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Heaven must of been short on angels for the Lord to call him so early in life.

Dave was a co-worker with me at the HIG. I remember when he was sick the first time and a group of us took a picture outside the HIG to send to him. At the time, I really didn't know who he was. But today I think of that day and remember it like it was yesterday. And as years passed by I had the honor to work with Newt on many different occassions and got to know him. Every year during the UW Golf outing, Newt graciously played golf with the girls and put up with our non stop talking. ...

Dave was a close friend and my lunch companion at the HIG. I'll remember him for his intelligence, dry sense of humor, and his attitude towards life. I never heard Newt complain about the difficult situation he was given in life. He played the hand he was dealt and went on with this life. Dave had many hobbies and outside interests. He was a real interesting guy when you got to know him. And if he was your friend, he would help you anyway he could. Pat, I'm glad you and Dave were able...

Dear Pat and family,
I am one of the nurses that took care of Dave. We shared many conversations about our vacations in Maine and he was kind enough to pass along some pictures of deer and moose which now (and have been for a while) my "wallpaper" on my computer. He will be sorely missed because of his thoughtfulness, kindness, and wonderful smile which brightened up every room in which he was treated; the other patients would enjoy his company. He was a special person and I am...

I will remember. He was a hard worker with a quiet sense of humor. What a loss.

Dave was one of those people that just made your day special. Dave and I worked together at the Hartford for a number of years and I shall never forget his work ethic and at the same time his sense of humor. He was just a special guy and he will be missed. My husband and I send our deepest sympathies to Pat and family at this very difiicult time. Rudy and Kay Botel

I worked with Dave for quite a few years at the HIG, though I left in 1984. I have kept in touch with his progress through my friend Nancy Cavanaugh and was very sad to here from her today that he has left us. I have many fond memories of Dave at the HIG and at parties with our mutual friends. My condolences to his entire family and you will be in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

Dave was a friend and co worker of mine for many years at the HIG. I know he has so many friends and this is a very sad moment for us all. But we all have fond memories that will last forever. I played golf with Newt, shared some beers and many laughs. I always enjoyed his computer wave files that he would play..especially the stooges and the end of work day horn each time he logged off. He will be missed. Thoughts are with you.
