I know how he felt when he lost his son Morgan ,although it not the same the hurt is . i lost a great friend . i want to thank Patricia for trying to show us both the way. she is a great lady and i know made him a better man .

Newell and I became friends through pool. We had been on more than one road trip together playing pool. Newell loved the game and the competition that it offered. He was also a great player. I will miss him dearly!
Uncle Newell will forever be in our hearts and thoughts. We will surely miss him. He was like a second Dad for me I spent many of summers with the family. I remember he once told me even though your married you will always be a Bullard. He always called me Shanny when ever we spoke on the phone or when I saw him in person. It’s these type of memories that will forever be in my heart.He always called my little brother Brandon Tyler Bullard "BT". He was a good man.Love You Bunches Uncle Newell.

My condolences to his family. God bless.
