David Newton “Newt” Foner, 86, died at his home in Andover on Sunday, January 20, 2008.
Beloved husband of M. Lorraine (Ferrie) Foner, Newt was born in Pittsburgh, PA, the third of ten children of the late Newton F. and Dora Foner. Mr. Foner was a well-educated and hardworking individual. He worked as an engineer and educator for more than 50 years, and retired from Massachusetts Maritime Academy in 1996. He also loved to square and ballroom dance. But above all he was an honest, kind family-oriented person who always had a kind word for anyone.
He will be lovingly remembered by his wife Lorraine, his children David William Foner of Deering, NH, and Patricia Foner Iverson of Somerville, and his three grandchildren, Rebecca, Max, and Bridget Foner. He is also survived by three sisters (Gertrude Levine of State College, PA, Rachel Powell of Thornville, OH, and Mary Rosenthal of Springfield) and his brother Dr. Max Foner of Memphis, TN, and by many nieces and nephews.
Funeral services were private. In lieu of flowers, donations in Newt’s memory may be made to Merrimack Valley Hospice, 360 Merrimack Street, Building # 9, Lawrence, Massachusetts 01843. For additional information, please visit www.burkemagliozzi.com.
