"The Davis Enterprise," Thursday, October 10, 2002
Robert Newman

Robert "Bob" Newman died in his sleep at his childhood home in Bellefontaine,
Ohio, on Oct. 3, 2002. Born on Sept. 9, 1941, he was 61 years old. He was a
well-known former teacher at North Davis Elementary School, who was revered by
colleagues, parents and students alike.

He moved to Davis from Bellefontaine in 1964. He taught fifth grade for 34
years, retiring in 1997. He thoroughly enjoyed and cared about his students, and
loved encountering former students. It was a rare occasion for him to stroll
through the downtown area without engaging in a nostalgic conversation with a
student or parent. He traditionally sent out high school graduation cards to
each of the students in his classes and maintained contact with many of them and
their families throughout the years.

He was a heartfelt and loving Christian who shared his life, dreams and time
with all who crossed his path. He attended childhood church in Ohio as well as
the Christian Church Disciples of Christ in Woodland. During retirement, his
faith in Jesus Christ grew tremendously.

He had many interests throughout his life. He traveled to auctions and sales to
collect Vaseline glass and other antiques. Recently, he began selling glass
collections with the proceeds designated for helping other people. In addition,
he enjoyed bridge, overseas travel, spending time with his good friends and
visiting his second home in Ohio.

His parents, Carl and Mildred Newman, and his brother, Carl Jr., preceded him in
death.

He is survived by his sisters, Connie Lee Newman of Davis and Imogene Marsh
Morrison and her husband Coke of Benicia; his brothers, Kenneth E. Newman and
his wife Emily of Medford, Ore., and Leslie David Newman and his wife Mary Anne
of Woodland; and five nieces and nephews.

Interment will be at the Greenwood Cemetery in Degraff, Ohio, where a graveside
memorial will take place. A local memorial service will be held Saturday, Oct.
19, at 11 a.m. at the Christian Church Disciples of Christ, 509 College St. in
Woodland.

Remembrances may be sent in his name to North Davis Elementary School Library,
555 E. 14th St., Davis, CA 95616.
