Robert Newman Obituary
Robert (Bob) Lewis Newman passed away peacefully on Saturday, January 30, 2021 at the age of 75. Born on June 4, 1945 in the Bronx, Robert was a graduate of the University of Oklahoma and retired from Fabricut in Tulsa after 44 years.
A true New Yorker to the core, Robert was a loyal Yankees, Giants, and Rangers fan. Though he spent more than two-thirds of his life in Oklahoma, he notably never lost that New York accent.
As a loving, devoted husband, father, and grandfather, Robert cherished nothing more than being surrounded by his family. Robert was a practical man of few words, but there was no questioning his loyalty to neighbors and friends, and the unconditional love he held in his heart for his family. Robert will be remembered as a hard worker, for his humor and wit, and an unrelenting affection for chocolate.
Robert was preceded in death by his parents, Mac and Sally Newman; sister, Adrienne Siegel. He is survived by his wife, Debby Jo Newman; children, Dan Newman, Amy Stadnyk, Matt Newman; daughters-in-law, Becky Newman, Cat Newman; son-in-law, Nick Stadnyk; five grandchildren, Connor Stadnyk, Peyton Newman, Josh Stadnyk, Addison Newman, Maxine Newman; and many cousins, nieces, and nephews.
A long fought battle with Parkinson's ended his life. To further the research and awareness in the fight against Parkinson's, please consider a donation to The Parkinson Foundation of Oklahoma.
