Stephen Kaysing Newcomer

I cannot believe that it has been 15 years since God took Steve home. I wrote an autobiography a few years ago. It has 18 chapters and it is 317 pages long. In one chapter, I listed those things that brought me the greatest joys in my life. Going to Alvamar the 3rd week of August for over 35 years was near the top of the list. Getting to be there with Steve during that time ranks even higher. Psalms 73:23-25 helped me understand God's plan for Steve while he was here on earth with us. ...

Dear Newcomer Family,

I had the pleasure of seeing Steve for four days per year for the last 20 years at the annual Alvamar Golf Tournament. He was one of the funniest and most unforgetable characters that I have ever met. His keen wit and intellect made Alvamar a very anticipated and enjoyable event for everyone who participated. I always knew how much fun "Newk" was, but since reading these rememberances I realize he was also a great person and family man. My deepest sympathy...

Liz,
My sympathy goes out to you and the rest of the family.
I only got to see Steve once a year but I always looked forward to enjoying his great sense of humor and watching how people were drawn to him. Everyone wanted to say something to Steve just to hear the reaction they would get and know it would end with his patented laugh.
I feel lucky to have known Steve and proud to have been able to spend some time with Marci and Joe

I was so shocked to hear that Steve had passed away. I had been thinking of him and Liz recently because of the impending class of '57 reunion at Central High. A really great guy has left much too soon.

Dear Liz & Family,
First, Thank You for sharing "Mr. Miller Lite" for the annual Alvamar event. Many have spoken to Steve's humor and caring touch .. few people share Steve's ability to look you square in the eye and make you feel you are the only person on the face of the earth; you share, at that moment, his undivided attention..... and all bets were the encounter would end in a smile and laugher. I had the pleasure of it for 4 days for each of 23 years. Such zest for life and for the...

Dear Carrie and Family,
I heard the sad news today from Roger, who is a close friend that Carrie and I share. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you. Carrie and I always talked about our families and I know how much she loved her Dad. As long as you remember him and continue to keep him in your lives he will never die. Carrie if there is anything you need or if there is anything I can do for you please call me.
With Love, Steve and Donna Napoli

Carrie:

Words cannot express how sadden I am about your Dad. I lost mine about 2 years ago and understand your loss. The hurt gets better, but never goes away. There will always be a void and loneliness that cannot be refilled. However, one day, you will spend all eternity with him. That will be a much longer time than the two of you had together on this earth. That's alot to look forward to, and he will be well again and so happy to see you. I love you and am sorry that you are...

Dear Carrie and Family; We are saddened to hear of Mr. Newcomer's passing. A man's family is one of the mirrors of his life and soul. We know Mr. Newcomer and his family only through Carrie's eyes. She expressed so much love for her father and mother and her entire family. She was so very proud to ge Stephen Newcomer's daughter. We love you Carrie, let us know if we can do anything. Roger and Pat Chambers
