Passing of a Neweller
#1

Maybe we should have a section for those Newellers that have passed on to Glory. A few days ago I was notified by Sonja Kure that her husband Bill had passed away. He fought for many years with cancer. They had a 1987 Newell. One that actually used to belong to Karl Blade. They have passed the coach along to a family member.

A couple years ago when Bill and Sonja was visiting at Senator Wash Bill developed a problem with the engine running rough. Well we solicited help from this web site and had much feed back. It was a trying time chasing down everything that seemed to be the obvious.End result was a blown fuse which shut down the co-pilot side of the engine. That was my fun time with Bill. Bill also made leather belts which I needed one so he gave me one he made which I wear daily. What a way to remember a friend! Every time put on my jeans and latch my belt I feel the design embossed on it and think of my friend Bill.
I miss my friend Bill!

Dear Friends,
Thank you Brad for putting this notice on here. Also thank you for the other kind comments.
Our Newell was Bill's pride and joy and all Newell owners know that feeling. I am so thankful we were able to go south from Calgary every winter for the past few years, after selling our home and moving into the Newell full time. It was such a wonderful lifestyle and Bill loved it so much. We met so many great people and Bill was so proud to be part of the Newell Family!
Our daughter is taking our beautiful coach to her place in British Columbia. Not sure yet where I will end up. We have told her all about the wonderful Newell Family and the helpfulness of the other owners and I am sure you will see her name (Bonnie Kure) on the site in the future.
Sincerely,
Sonja
