Robert Newlin

Growing up around the Newlin family was such a blessing. Bob was kind and generous with everyone. I am grateful for the opportunity to have been welcomed into their home for various gatherings. Growing up, I enjoyed watching Durango Demons football with their family and truly cherish those memories. My condolences for Jan,Bret, Kurt and families.

Bob and Jan had the best Christmas parties and Bob was a real stickler for having the perfect tree. He recruited the Strater coffee club every year for the event. Susan and I will miss Bob and his risque sense of humor. Bill

Our condolences to the Newlin family, we are saddened by your lossPhil&Sandra

We've known Bob for many years, and I can attest that he was always a true friend and always a gentleman. He was always willing to help, and never said no to anyone in need. He was the kind of person that always showed what a good neighbor, or friend should be. Rest in peace my friend, you'll be missed by all who knew you.

Mr. Christmas has passed during this season. We will always remember the Newlin's holiday home, with a large, freshly cut pine tree. (Some great adventure stories of the coffee club gang helping chop down and bring in those trees each year.) My entire family truly loved Bob and feel honored to have known him.

Bob was a dedicated Forest Service employee and I am glad to have known him. My condolences to the family.

I worked with Bob when I was a fire lookout on Devil Mountain in 1966. He was a wonderful boss.

My sincere condolences to the family. I worked with Bob in Pagosa in the USFS and have some great memories of his being Ranger.

Rest in peace, my friend. I have many great memories from the 90s when I worked at Mountain Waters rafting with Bob. He even earned the nickname rocket Bob. He was a kind man and had a great sense of humor.
