Pap was my only known grandfather. Yet even though I was not fortunate enough to spend a large amount of time with him, I was cultivated to have a great respect for him. My parents Dale and Sue always spoke very highly of him and loved to tell my siblings and I some of the wonderful things Pap had done and accomplished. I have always felt special just knowing I'm related to a man who designed satellites and space equipment, who was a master of golf, and an incredible chess player. But most importantly, I have known, without question, that Pap loved me and wanted to pour into me. This was made difficult often because of the distance between us, but it was evident when we did get to spend time together.
I remember how happy he was to see us when we Mom, Dad, and the youngest three would make our annual trips to New Jersey. It was always a pleasure to visit with Pap. I miss him but I'm looking forward to seeing him in perfect health!

Hobert was my uncle. Sorry to hear about his passing. Only met him a few times when I was small. Of all the aunts and uncles I have had, the Newton side will always be in my HEART FOREVER.

Hobart Newton, Jr.
I appreciate my Pap for many things, and am sorry to see him pass. I found him as one who appreciated life. He knew enough to take it seriously, but, at the same time, knew when not to take it so seriously.
Always at the top of the list of things that I appreciate about Pap is his humor. He’d often have the right thing to say, or put in the “zinger” at exactly the right time. He brought personality and joy to family gatherings.
Pap was a deep thinker, who, when in conversation with me, often put the “why” question on the table which forced me to connect the dots and explain my reasoning. He’d sit back and smile. I knew his brain was computing lots of things simultaneously, listening to my conversation, forming his own opinion, recalling things he read that would give support, postulating other scenarios, and the follow up questions behind them, but, keeping a good poker face, he’d keep his cards to himself. I think he liked keeping me guessing.
Whenever I finished responding to the first question, he would ask another. After answering, he’d ask the next one in line. Always smiling and listening, I think he rather enjoyed this game.
I always felt closest to Pap on the golf course. Being with him in the company of my dad, Uncle Sam, Jonathan, and later my brothers, was great male bonding time. His game wouldn’t be described as powerful. He never hit the ball the longest distance. What he did better than any of us, was read the slope and angles, and place the ball right where he wanted it to go. Each swing had a pre-determined and pre-calculated trajectory. The ball was his servant, and he was its master. When it came to golf, pap was an artisan.
One of the things I think of often is the way my medium-sized build resembled Pap as well as that of my cousin Jonathan. Ever since I was born, I’ve been told that I am a Newton. My veins are close to the surface, like my mothers and Paps. That’s how families are. Their dna is passed from generation to generation, making us alike and at the same time unique.
Pap lived a long and full life, and I look forward to seeing him someday. No doubt he’ll have a list of questions ready for me. I can see him smiling now.
Todd, on behalf of Holly, Cassie and Calvin Carver

Uncle Hobart was a favorite Uncle to all of us. I appreciated his friendship in recent years. He will
always be remembered for his wit and playful attitude when we were kids. I will surely miss him. I am so grateful that he knew the Lord and has the joy of spending eternity with our wonderful Saviour. I am thankful to Dorothy for her love and selfless care for him in his last year.

Dorothy and Family,
I just can't say enough about Hobart. He was always smiling as he entered the YMCA to do his routine and he never said an unkind word about anyone. He was the most compassionate and loving human being I know and he will be greatly missed by all. Dorothy, my prayers are with you, but just know Hobart is looking down on you and watching out for you every day.
God Bless You All!
