People named Newton Hunt

My thought and prayers are with all of the family. Be brave and pray for the strength you will need to face each new day. Hug and kiss his dog, as he will miss him as much as the rest of family and friends. I am sure Newton and Ralph will be taking care of all the instruments in heaven and watching over the Baloney Bunch. Barbara and Maggie Mrs Ralph (Barbara) Martin November 26, 2002 As a not so incredibly experienced piano technician, I remember the first few posts I submitted to the Pianotech list, to which one of the most informed posts was always from Newton, who just seemed so willing to share his great knowledge with me, and apparently many, many others. I met him only twice, but I was touched by him greatly. He will be missed by more people than he would ever have guessed. Clark A. Sprague, RPT Clark Sprague November 25, 2002 A sad loss to his family but an even greater loss to the piano tuning world especially visually impaired technicians, who he always encouraged and helped. Over the internet or in person, he was one of those rare people a real Gentleman. Barrie Barrie Heaton November 25, 2002 Hi, Newton influenced so many of us with his generous sharing of knowledge. He will be missed. Regards, Don Don Rose November 25, 2002 My condolences to the family and friends of this great man. A huge loss to the piano technicians of the world. Gordon Holley November 25, 2002 Please accept the following tribute to a wonderful colleague and friend: As life unfolds, this is the third death of someone dear to me this week. That, renewed strife at work, and the general difficulties of the lectionary (Ezekiel 34:11-17, 1 Corinthians 15:20-28, and Matthew 25:31-46) have made preparing the homily I am to present tomorrow a real soul searching and excruciating exercise...how to take selections that are all-too-often seen in black and white, either/or terms and bring them into new light? How to move from fire and brimstone to renewed hope when my own reality presently seems so darkened? I've spent some time now going back and rereading Newton's posts to various lists...refusing, in my own way, to accept this news. Much more than his encyclopaedic knowledge and experience, we have lost a truly genuine human being...and yet, we have not. Newton lives on within and among each of every one of us with whom he was in contact - an example of returning to others what has been received in one's self. How very fortunate we all are that so much of his knowledge is passed on to so many! Further, that through the various EM lists on which he participated, what he was able to share in those places is, in effect, preserved for posterity...including the marvelous banter! So, as I have read, and thought, and mourned, Newton has given me the answer to how to address tomorrow's lectionary: No one and no thing is truly irretrievably destroyed. No one and no thing is lost. Every one and every thing is contained. God is all in all. Anyway, here, in Newton's own words is only one example of why he will always be with us: "I was planning to make a sign Mama don' 'low no No sax sucking No bone blowing No horn honking in this wing "to post on the doors leading to the practice rooms. Never did though." Their loss, to be sure. Peace to all. Horace Horace Greeley November 25, 2002
