FREDERICK CHARLES NEWMAN

Condolences & Memories (11 entries)

• I just found out of Charlie's passing in June & was shocked. I enjoyed working with him at the grain commission very much. I called him eagle eye because he never missed anything. He was such a gentleman to all, kind, reserved, a wry sense of humour & knowledgeable in his opinions. His integrity was beyond itself. I think of him often whenever I pass by that building. A good life...a good man...he was a superb co-worker...don't think the commissionaires ever realized what expertise they lost! Sincere condolences to all of his family.

• Kathy, Danny, Jacquie, Jason Caron...how sadden we were when we heard Charlie passed away. Because you are so dear a friend, your cares are our cares, too, And so as sorrow fills your heart, our heart goes out to you. Though our words cannot begin to ease the loss you bear, we only hope it helps, somehow, to know how much we care. Hugs.

• Charlie was one of our favourite members at ANAVETs 283. Terra and I had a lot of fun with him. He had a pre-arranged signal with us on Thursday nights, Cribbage night, and we would have his rye and water ready for him when he gave us "the nod". Usually his crib partner Jim was with him, so his drink was ready as well. The 2 of them were some of the nicest customers we had there - always joking around, polite, and sweet to the new waitresses, and understanding if a mistake was made. If somebody was new, or forgot and put a straw in Charlie's drink, he'd always say "No stick!" So that's how we'll always remember Charlie, "no stick." He always brought pop can tabs to us in this little Styrofoam dish, which we would give back after we emptied it. That dish kept getting lost and ended up all over the club, and several times in the garbage, and it would get rescued. I finally wrote "Charlie's can tabs" on it to keep it safe. I don't work there any more, but his Thursday Crib waitress Terra is still there, and she will miss him terribly, as will his Crib partner Jim and all the 283 Crib players and Saturday Meat Draw regulars. Just this little piece of him shows what an impact Charlie must have had on his family and friends. Go well, Charlie. You left a lasting legacy, and will be greatly missed.

• I met Charlie through his wife Kathy & her sister Pat who is in Oakview Extendicare on Ness Ave & every so often I would call their home around 8:30 in the evening & Charlie would tell me that Kathy was already in bed,so Charlie & I would chat for 1/2 hour or so, talking about the weather & his work as a Commisionaire & different things, I would ask him to come to Oakview for lunch with Pat, Kathy & I,but he would say as a joke that he didn't want to be surrounded by three women.It seems like it was yesterday that I talked to him,but I know he's in heaven now watching over his family & all his friends, I've got one picture of him on my cell with him, Kathy & Pat. Kathy it will be really hard at first, but remember you've got friends to lean on during this difficult time in your life,don't be afraid to use them anytime day or night, 24 hours ok, my friend,God is holding you in his hands right now, one minute at a time, then one hour at a time, then so on & on, ok, love & lots of hugs from Julie xo - Posted by: Julie Rowbotham (Friend) on: Mar 30, 2017
