Newman and Agnes married in 1938 and over the course of time; five children were born to the couple. Newman always said that Agnes provided the encouragement that he found to be essential during his career. After 60 years of marriage, she died October 24, 1998 and he has missed her every day.

He was one of the founding members of All Saints Anglican Church here in Pensacola. In his later years he was awarded the Title of Senior Warden Emeritus.
