I just found about Newt after running into some old friends. I wrestled at Pennsauken with Newt in the mid 90s. Newt was an absolute beast on the mat but a gentleman off of it. Everyone loved Newt. The stands would always be upbeat when it was Newts turn at 215 to wrestle. He was a really good wrestler and was part of that 95 team that was turning the corner for Pennsauken wrestling. That team was really talented. After that season we lost our best wrestler to Camden Catholic wrestling and everyone was kind of in the dumps knowing we had a shot to be really good. Couldn't hold it together, but Newt was always upbeat man no matter what. His family should be proud of him! Rest in peace Newt! Thanks for the memories.
