David Newman

David Allen Newman, 64, passed away peacefully on Saturday, January 5, 2013, in Long Beach, California. He was born to the late William and Virginia Newman, June 11, 1948, in Long Beach, California. David is survived by his daughter, Jodi Cordone; grandchildren, Sophia and Gabriella Cordone; brothers, Marty Newman and Bruce Newman; and sister, Sharon Johnson. He graduated from Jordan High School in 1966 and California State University, Long Beach, in 1974. David also received a JD degree from Western State University College of Law in 1980. David spent much of his professional career in the aerospace industry, working mainly for McDonnell Douglas and ultimately Boeing. He enjoyed the simple pleasures of life, family, friends, beer, football, and golf. David embraced the happiness and fun that everyday had to offer. He was a loving son, father, brother, and friend, and he will be greatly missed by all who knew him. There will be a celebration of life for his family and friends at a later date.

Dave made me laugh, uncontrollably! I feel fortunate to have renewed my friendship and relationship with him in 2012. He was a good friend to so many of us who grew up in Long Beach and attended LB Jordan HS. I miss him greatly. Love to all, Pam Flippin
