STEPHEN L. NEW

Wonderful Memory of Dr. New as my dentist and friend over many years. I still miss him.

Steve and I were housemates at UF. Steve was a great guy; friendly, funny, quick witted and smart. So sorry to hear of his passing. Taken way too soon.

I was a patient of Dr. New forever and a day. I still miss him as a patient and friend. All my love to the family forever!!! Thinking a lot about him today! He was always a breath of fresh air!!

Thinking about Steve what a great guy what a terrible loss to the world I hope he is resting in peace or laughing with joy I miss you brother take care. You're old poker buddy and patient oh, Richard

I'm sorry this is so late, but I just read about Steve's passing in the Mercer Alumni magazine. Even though I was in a different fraternity (SAE), I always considered Stevie to be one of my best friends. The last time I saw him was at our classes 10 year reunion in 1982. My wife remembered him, as I spent most of the evening talking with him. He was truly one of the best people I've ever known.

I met Dr. New around 1977 at the downstairs bar in The Great Southern Music Hall. I saw him often on the same seat while the same singer always sang Desporado. We introduced ourselves and would say hello. Then on a Sunday I had my front canine broken with a hammer. I only knew one dentist. Dr. New. He got me patched up for the weekend and the following week he told me I needed a crown. I couldn't afford a crown and asked him if I could clean his house to pay for it. He said yes. So every...

We are very sad to learn the passing of Dr. New, he was our family dentist after we moved to Gainesville in 1977. He took great care of all of us. Since we were around the same age it felt more like going to a friends place.
Swapped many stories through out the years.
It is with a heavy heart to have to say good bye to such a great man.
To Patti and his whole family we offer our deepest condolences. May he find peace in the after life

Dr. New has been my dentist for the last 17 years. He always showed amazing compassion for his patients. His sense of humor and enthusiasm for dentistry and life in general was contagious. I will be missing him very much. My heart goes out to his family and friends.
