Not sure what to say?

Harold was a mainstay at the Sun-Times sports department before I arrived there. I stayed 41 years and Harold was one of the very best people I've ever known.

So sorry to hear about Harold, truly one of the good guys. I had the pleasure of working with Harold at the Sun-Times from 1980-2011. Despite the constant pressure of making nightly deadlines, Harold was always cool, calm and collected. He had a great sense of humor, too. Wilma, God bless you and your family.

May the peace of God which surpasses all understanding guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

Harold worked on the Sun-Times sports desk when I started my 41 year career there in 1969. He was a wonderful guy, a great teammate, a true professional and a very good friend. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends. We all lost a terrific guy.

Deacon Harold Newchurch was a warm and wise man. He had a laid-back aura that put anyone in his presence at ease. A person that was a wealth of information and eager to share. Deacon, you will be truly missed. Many blessings to the Newchurch and Person families.

Dear Wilma,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.
