Final Years

Newman spent his final years quietly, moving with his wife to England in 2007 to be nearer to their daughter. He died of pneumonia in Oxford on August 13, 2010. The public announcement of his death was delayed for a little over a month (until September 15), to allow a period of private mourning for his family. Newman was survived by his wife and daughter.

Famous quotes containing the words final and/or years:

    Always and last, before the final ring
    When all the fireworks blare, begins
    A tom-tom scrimmage with a somewhere violin,
    Some cheapest echo of them all—begins.
    Hart Crane (1899–1932)

    Adolescents are travelers, far from home with no native land, neither children nor adults. They are jet-setters who fly from one country to another with amazing speed. Sometimes they are four years old, an hour later they are twenty-five. They don’t really fit anywhere. There’s a yearning for place, a search for solid ground.
    Mary Pipher (20th century)
