My mother, Isabel Jones, was assistant to Mr. Newnham (as she always called him!) at Seneca for many years, and I was a student at Northview during his last months before he left for Seneca, so WTN had a huge effect on my life in many ways. He was and will continue to be an inspiration to 'achieve great things'. My sincere condolences to the family on the loss of this great man.

Just wanted to share my remembrances of a wonderful family friend to my parents and family of Marg and Allan Patterson. Your father was always spoken of with the highest regard around our family dinner table. Your Dad's been an inspiration to many many students of life......he will be sadly missed, but fondly remembered. Our deep felt condolences to your family, most sincerely ...Jane Gawley (Patterson)

We were fortunate to have Mr. Newnham as our principal at Northview Heights Collegiate Institute from 1960 to 1964. On Saturday August 23rd as we celebrated the 50th reunion of our graduating class, and not knowing he had died that day, we toasted a wonderful educator and a kind man. We are all honoured to have been his students. My sincere condolences to his family.

In my 33 year career in secondary school education, Bill probably had the greatest influence on me. My years under his leadership at Northview Heights C.I were the greatest

I was honoured to be a member of Bill Newnham's staff at Northview Heights S.S. beginning 50 years ago.
