John Franklin Newman

So sorry to hear this news. Even though I had not talked to or seen cousin Johnny for many years, I followed closely on his and Natalie's social media sites and enjoyed the many photos of him and his family - who he loved dearly. I fondly remember Christmas nights growing up as a child when all the "Newmans" would come to our house to celebrate. What a crew! Cousin Johnny had the best laugh! And, I might add - he may have been the only "Newman" who could sweat more then I! (well - maybe Aunt Daisy!!!). We'll sure miss him.

With much love,
"Nowoka" Joy Hilton Early (photo attached - the three "Nowokas" - Aunt Helen Nowoka, Nowoka Joy and Haley Nowoka

John was the best Vocational Expert with whom I ever worked. He was always prepared and his testimony was superb. As an administrative law judge and before that as an attorney specializing in disability cases, I had many cases with him. We also shared the Masonic brotherhood. I was raised to Master Mason in 1982, in my father's lodge. Terry he was a fine man. Glenn Hammond.

What a special man he was. So sorry to hear of his passing.

John, you were a true friend and colleague. Although we did not stay in touch as much as I would have liked, I always considered you a great, kind, and thoughtful person. You will be greatly missed.

Dad, thank you for making me who I am today. You were an amazing dad and I am lucky to call you mine! You touched the lives of so many people. You are one of a kind, dad. I miss you and love you!!!
