Gregory Newman Obituary
WYOMING — Gregory J. "Gregg" Newman, 68, passed away peacefully in his home, with his wife and son at his side, on July 18, 2024.
Born in West Pittston, Pa., he resided in Hummelstown, Pa., for 24 years with his wife and son. His family was the joy of his life, especially his son Matthew, of whom he was intensely proud. Gregg was a longstanding member of the Knights of Columbus.
Gregg loved God, life, nature and working on electronics and was an avid outdoorsman. Gregg always had a positive outlook and spirit in life despite illness. Gregg encouraged all to keep laughing and smiling.
Preceding him in death were his parents, Mary A. (Buczynski) Newman and H. Thomas Newman; and a brother, Thomas J. Newman.
Surviving are his wife, Karen (McDonnell) Newman; children, Matthew Newman and Susie Reilly; siblings: Gerard Newman, Jean Marie Newman, Robert Newman, Mary Newman and Suzanne Rudat; as well as the large extended family of Gregg and Karen, with aunts, uncles and cousins.
A funeral service will be held at 9 a.m. Monday from Metcalfe Shaver Kopcza Funeral Home Inc., 504 Wyoming Ave., Wyoming, with a Mass of Christian Burial at 9:30 a.m. in St. Joseph Marello Parish at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, 237 William St., Pittston. Interment will be in Mount Olivet Cemetery, Carverton. Friends may call from 3 to 6 p.m. Sunday at the funeral home.

Dear Karen and Matthew, I am deeply sorry for your loss. I was shocked to hear at Mass at SJA yesterday that it was being said for Greg. I did not know of his passing, so I apologize for the delay in getting this message to you. I'll always cherish the memories of our trip to Shenandoah National Park and Cub Scouts - those moments with our children will forever be in my heart. Sending you strength and comfort during this difficult time. Please let Ann and me know if you need anything at all. God Bless Dan Ann and Alek
