........MAN BORN OF A WOMAN MUST DIE, BUT
MAN BORN OF CHRIST WILL LIVE ON FOREVER........
Alvin W. Newell lives on forever..........
He was a man of strong character, there was a frightening
realness to him. True to us he trusted, loyal to us he believed in, Pops was a husband,
father, brother, friend.
Alvin W. Newell was the second child born to
Joseph and Edith Newell of St. Catherine, Jamaica. He attended the Ludford Mount All-Age
School . Fifty six years ago he met and subsequently married Violda Wallace. The union
produced seven (7) sons:- Oliver, Sydney, Lester, Alvin II, Joseph, Charles, and Cyril
and three (3) daughters:- Rowena, Patricia and Joan..
Our lives are richer today for having had Pops
pass through them. In this, he will never truly be gone, for a small part of him lies
within each of us. He smiles and laughs with us, and we are never alone.
His was not an effortless life, nothing he has
was considered too priceless to be shared with his fellow man. Time and Time again he would
give what seem to be his last meal to someone who seem to be in more need. His favorite
sayings......" the more I give, the more I seem to receive".....
Alvin was a Farmer by profession and an active member of the All Island Cane-Farmers
Association (Jamaica). He was also a vibrant member of the Ludford Mount Baptist Church
before migrating, with his wife, to the United States in 1982 to a well earned retirement.
In addition to his wife and children Alvin is survived by three (3) brothers and four
(4) sisters: five grandsons:- Seymour, Antone, Marcello, Nicholas and Alvin III: eleven
grand-daughters :- Kara, Olivia, Faith, Nicole, Janielle, Bryoni, Sherie, Aneesha, Sameerah,
Shenielle, and Shenece: great grandchildren:- Quori, Aryelle, Desiree, Nikkei and Malik :
