Uncle Newton was a very fun and caring Uncle. I have wonderful memories of him during our many family gatherings. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
He has now joined by my father who passed away on April 27, 2016. Brother in laws are now together in heaven telling stories and building something together.
Much love to you Uncle Newton.
