Mr. Newell was a man that I will never forget I had recently graduated one of his classes and as the first real fire class I had ever taken this one is stuck with me forever the kind words and great techings from his year of experiance will be put to good use through me and those i continue to interact with and help in my years of service to come I take it upon myself as an honor and a privalige to have been a part of his class

It was a tremendous privilege to honor Bob at his funeral and a gift to me to assist in my own healing process in losing Bob as a friend and mentor.

I knew Bob as a Special Agent with the IRS. He was a wonderful person to be your friend. If he cared for you, Bob would go out of his way to be there for you.

As much as he taught me in the classes I took with him, it was his talk about being a good husband and father that really hit home with me. He said to me " Al, all you really have to do is listen, really...

Mrs. Newell and Family, we are so sorry for the loss of such a wonderful man. Bev I worked with you at Moot & Sprague (Sharon Michalek) and my husband has taken many classes that your husband has taught over the years. He was just at the OSHA class that Mr. Newell taught. I have seen his name so many times over the past years but did not connect with you until someone in the fire company called and told him that Bob has passed away. So sorry for your lost. Our thoughts and prayers are with...
