Sam Newington

NEWINGTON Sam died peacefully at home, on 20th June 2017, surrounded by his family. Sam was a husband, a father, a grandfather, an entrepreneur, a fighter pilot, an intrepid navigator, a keen amateur historian, a wonderful present giver and unfailingly generous to family and friends. Never knowingly seen without a glass of wine or a pint of bitter, he will be missed by all of us, most of all by Briony, his wife of 51 years. He taught us the value of hard work, humility and good table manners. Sam's funeral will be held at All Saints Church in Elton, at 4pm, on 30th June 2017, with a memorial service to follow at St John's Church, Peterborough, at 12.15pm, on 15th September 2017.
