Bill Legge wrote a sympathy message

“Dear Melissa, Mrs. Anna, Louise, Suzanne and others, the Legge family is so sad and sorry to hear about your loss. They didn't come any better than Newt Davis. He was a trustworthy and honest man that cared about others and would do anything he could to help you. He was a constant; you got the same Newt no matter what. He was a friend to many and was certainly my friend since kindergarten and he will be sorely missed. You all are in our thoughts and prayers. Bill, Laura, Bob, and Debbie.”

“I'm so very sorry for your loss. Newt was a good man with a big heart. He was always very respectful and cared about others. I met Newt through my son who was a locksmith (he had bought vehicles from my work). Newt will certainly be missed. Although our paths didn't cross often, he was a man you kept in your heart as he demonstrated good character and love for others. Praying for peace and comfort during this time of grieving. ~Darla Pinner”
