Bill was born in Boston, Massachusetts and is survived by his wife, Sandy Newell; children, Lauren Newell (Rusty Quillin), Will Newell, Jamie Wince (Brandon Adkins), and Nikki Mangold ( Frank); grandchildren, Aiden, Kinley, Cruz, Brady, and Savannah; sister, Kathleen Karle (James); niece, Holly Schaefer (Jeffrey); nephew, Adam Karle; family friend, Debi Bowen; former spouse, Linda Newell; and many other nieces, nephews, cousins, family members, and special friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, Raymond Newell, Sr., and Adeline Johnson; stepfather, Ernest Johnson; and brother, Raymond Newell, Jr. Bill had an absolute love for life and knew no stranger. To some he was simply the "Jeep Guy." From owning his own family restaurant to finishing out his work career at Greenbrier Chrysler Jeep he made friends everywhere he went. His love for life and knowledge of ridiculous facts could always put a smile on your face. He enjoyed fishing and watching his grandchildren's athletic events. He will truly be missed by many. In lieu of flowers please make donations to, Special Olympics of Virginia or your local animal shelter.
