My sympathies to all of you during this difficult time and beyond. I grew up on Harrington Avenue with Brian and the rest of the gang. I have fond memories of those days and of our young friendships. I send prayers of peace and love to your family.

Newman's, I wanted to pay my respects to the family in person, but this will have to be a poor substitute. I am saddened by your loss and as many my age know all too well, loss is part of our lives. I am heartened by two thoughts, however. First and foremost, I am confident in His peace and know that the suffering on earth is complete. Praise God! Secondly, if we are in fact allowed to check in on loved ones from heaven, then Willis will be in for a treat for many, many years to come. He is blessed with one of the most gentle, talented and loving families one could ever hope for in their wildest dreams. Take comfort in that as you grieve. With much love, Breck Aspinwall

Thoughts and Prayers are with you at this time. While we are sad now it is only because our lives are richer for having known Will. Will lived the scout oath and law everyday and I will do my best to ensure that Troop 94 lives up to his standards.Yours in Scouting until we all go Home.

Well Will Newman, I hope you and my husband are having a very lengthy discussion about history and all things that I find boring now that you have your voice back. Your family is a true testimony of what kind of a husband and father you were to them. They are strong and loving and adventurous. I wish I knew you before you were in the wheelchair because honestly, you look pretty entertaining in that boy scout leader uniform. Thanks for showing the world what "strong" really means because nobody fought harder to stay here with your family than you did. I wonder if the mansion God has prepared for you looks like a cabin in the woods! And Lauraine, Kaitlyn, Michael, Jennifer and all the animals in the Newman kingdom, you know where to find me. Anything you need... ever!! I'm there for you!

My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time. I met Will through the RMP office and then was privileged enough to be able to work with him at Misty Glen as well. He was a beautiful soul and I will always remember his smile. The strength of his family is unbelievable and I commend you all for the beautiful people you are. Hugs to you all and I will keep you in my prayers.

It truly saddens me when someone so young passes on. I knew "Brian" at CHS when I was teaching biology. Those days I had students like him that made teaching a fun job. I hope he had as much fun as I did when he was behind the desk. RIP. Jim Ochsner Fort Myers FL
