John Philip Newell: A Eulogy to His Father, William James Newell, Part 1

Quietly and after a lifetime of faithful service, Rev. Dr. William James Newell has gone to be with his Lord. Born July 9th, 1922 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Bill came to Canada in 1929. Bill will be deeply missed by Pearl, his wife of 67 years; by their children Darlane (Keith) Jespersen of Altadena, California, Heather, Philip (Ali) of Edinburgh, Scotland and Japhia (Brian) Cowling; their grandchildren Courtney (Mitch), Jamie (Michael), Philip (Neha), Joseph, William, Rowan (Mark), Brendan, Kirsten (Basu) Cameron, Tiffany (Michael), Jacob (Amy) and Aaron; and their great-grandchildren Priya, Caruso, Paz, Tovi and Japhia.
Bill served in the Royal Canadian Navy (1942-1945), as Minister and District Superintendent in the Christian and Missionary Alliance, and as Director of World Vision Canada (1973-1986) for which he was inducted in the Order of Canada in 1986.
Bill's family thank the staff and volunteers of Heritage Green Nursing Home for their care over the last few months.
A Celebration of Life was held at Paramount Drive Alliance Church on the corner of Mud Street and Paramount Drive, Stoney Creek, On Saturday, November 19th, 2011 at 11:30 a.m.
In lieu of flowers, Bill and Pearl's request is that donations be made to the World Vision Canada Children's Fund.
