Both Newark natives, the couple have also lived in Verona, North Caldwell, Roseland, and Long Beach Island.

He worked in the printing and packaging industries for 60 years, eventually forming his own company, Newman Sales Co., which provided printing and packaging materials for local and national manufacturers. Mrs. Newman worked for 26 years as office manager of a precision manufacturing company in Fairfield.

Members of Congregation Beth Ahm in Verona since 1951, the couple remained active in synagogue and community affairs before moving to LBI in 1996. Mr. Newman served a term as synagogue president in the mid-1960s. They have two children, Leonard and his wife Marie of Denver and Jeff and his wife Eileen of Cedar Knolls, as well as a granddaughter, Laura.
