1952–2018 · PRI, 27 Sep 2012; the company's announcement, Jan 2018; Congressional Record, 19 Jan 2018; IBJ obituary items
Robert "Bob" Newton (d. 26 September 2012, aged 85). PRI's obituary: he "died peacefully at home, surrounded by family members," after "dealing with the effects of a stroke suffered in 2011." IBJ styles him "a farmer and small-town stock car racer in the 1950s"; the long-form company history captions a photograph "Bob and Joyce Newton after winning the South Bend track championship in 1952." His honours at public-record strength: the National Dirt Late Model Hall of Fame, Class of 2004, Lifetime Achievement category (induction August 2004, Florence Speedway, Kentucky), and the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame Museum's "Builder/Manufacturer of the Year" award for the 2000 campaign — an award by that museum, not an induction; no carrier reached inducts either Newton into that Hall, and the halls test for the founders is otherwise negative at searched strength. The Newtons' public giving centres on Lakeville: Newton Park, "a state-of-the-art sports complex started in 1999" in the company's announcement (the park's own course belongs to the recreation legs of LK-7), and the revitalisation of the old Lakeville High School as a community center — the company's formulation, which LK-3's schools file already qualifies at carrier strength; the two files' treatments are consistent.
Joyce Newton (d. 16 January 2018, aged 85). The company's announcement, datelined Lakeville: "co-founder Joyce Newton, the matriarch of the company, passed away at the age of 85" on Tuesday morning, 16 January 2018; funeral services 20 January 2018 at Palmer Funeral Home, 601 N. Michigan St., Lakeville. She led the company until the 2016 sale and stood as its president and CEO in Continental's release. Her public honour: selected to represent Lakeville as a torchbearer in Indiana's Bicentennial Torch Relay (Congressional Record tribute, Rep. Jackie Walorski, 19 January 2018 — the same tribute carries the family's public counts: "Joyce's four kids, 12 grandkids, and 13 great-grandkids").
Boundary held, as the leg requires: no birth dates, birthplaces, maiden names, or residences beyond the town-level facts the obituaries themselves print are carried; the four children are counted by two public carriers and named by none read, and are not named here.
