My sympathy goes out to the Newman family and especially to Ellen Magnin Newman. He will be sorely missed by the entire community and by all who knew him for the big hearted man he was.

My Heartfelt Sympathy to the Newman Family and Friends I was saddened to learn of the passing of Walter. I had the privilege of working at Tempel Emanu-El from 1985 to 1988 and will never forget Walter Newman, he always came into the office with that wonderful smile of his.

I spent my summers in the Town of Newman and my grandparents are buried there. Walter was a wonderful continuation of that heritage.
