He is also survived by his brother Norman Hull, wife Shirley, Norman's children Jeff Hull, wife Linda and John Hull, wife Vina, their cutie Samuel Hull.
Newell never met a stranger, he was well known for striking up a conversation in any public place and giving people his address and phone number. He was a good judge of character, because after many years, he had received much joy from this endeavor. As a boy, he believed he had enough schooling after the first day, so he walked home to the farm to continue work there. His attitude changed when he realized that women attended school. Newell enjoyed dressing sharply and living life actively and lending a helping hand before someone knew they needed one.
Newell was an Army Veteran. He was a member of the Freemasons, Eastern Star, Middletown Conservation Club, Pleasant Valley Community Church (Middletown, IN), Eastside Christian Church (Lake Placid, FL), Telephone Pioneers of America (after years as a Lineman with Indiana Bell). He was a fundraiser for the West Sebring Volunteer Fire Department and long-time Patron of the Highlands County Library and Faithful member of the "Jimmy's Greek American Grill, Breakfast Club".
