It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our beautiful Friend, Dad, Husband, Granddad, Philip James Newton, Chewie. My best friend and husband for 32 years. Chewie was a friend to all, loved by all. He was a lion, a RSQKRU member which he loved. He will be sorely missed but now he is at peace. No more suffering. R.I.P. My darling Philip, I will love you forever. Much loved husband of Louise, father of Tracey-Leigh and loved Granddad of Ashleigh. Loved brother and brother-in-law of Greg (Deceased), Lyn, Jeff and Ann, Peter, Alun and Nani, Liz and Mike and loved uncle and great uncle of all his nieces and nephews.
