Not sure what to say?

We have just heard about Newell's passing and want to send our love and condolences. We have not been in touch for many years, but Brett worked with Newell in the Young Men's Presidency in the Taylorsville 3rd Ward. We have not forgotten Newell's thoughtful leadership and excellent example. You both welcomed us into your home and our children had the pleasure of having Newell demonstrate his "marble machine" to them. Even now when we see an episode of The Andy Griffith Show on T.V. we...

Denece

I was not told until today that Newell had passed away or that he had been ill for sometime. He has always been a good friend and I have appreciated knowing him and all of you.

I think of him as a prankster with a heart of gold. I may not be a part of the family now, but I have always felt the love of the family as a friend.

There will be an empty spot in my heart now that he has gone to the other side and I look forward to seeing him again someday.

As an attorney, I worked with Newell on many cases, sometimes we went to trial and others not, but his insight and expertise were always appreciated. Juries loved Newell because he taught them and answered the questions lingering in back of their minds. When time allowed, we talked about airplanes and flying. My condolences.

Arla and I offer our deepest sympathies to Denece and your entire family. Our love and thoughts are with you.
The 30 yr.+ friendship we have forged, has given us an opportunity to know a truly unique individual in Newell. Newell's ability to genuinely connect with people of all walks of life, is affirmed in the comments provided in this Guest Book. He deeply touched and enriched our lives with his wit, compassion and simple goodness to his fellow human beings. Newell walked his talk. He...

Like many others, I learned the ways of the legal world from Newell. He handled many investigations for me over the years and I had the joy and privilege of traveling with him on occassion. I will miss him and the "out of the blue" phone calls to brag about his fishing escapades. What a great man!! My thoughts and condolences to his family.

So sorry to learn of Newell's passing. He was a wonderful person and will truly be missed. Please accept my sincere condolences.

I express my deepest condolences
to the family. I knew Newell more through work as I worked Westside with the SL CO Sheriff Dept for 20+ years. he is one of the kindest men I ever knew and the most knowledgeable. My sons spoke of him often, and kept me informed on his condition as they thought a lot of him as he always had good things to say to them. Newell will be greatly missed yet we know he is no longer with pain

Our family offers our deepest sympathy at the passing of a father, husband, and grandfather. Our prayers are with your family. We always thought highly of Newell and your family

Newell was as fine a man as you would want to know. I knew and worked with him for more than 20 years as an accident reconstructionist, but he was much more than that. He was a mentor, a friend, and quite a story teller. He was honest, loyal, and the best at what he did. I'm proud to have considered him a friend. God's speed Newell, our thoughts and prayers at Strong & Hanni will be with your family.
