It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Elwood Eugene Newhook, who departed this life on January 17, 2026, at the Health Science Centre in St. John’s. Elwood was a loving husband, father, granddad, brother, and friend. He will be remembered as a proud, strong, and hard-working fisherman, and a family man with a kind heart. In 1982, Elwood met Margaret (Margie) Burke, now his wife of 36 years. Their relationship was a true example of unconditional, supportive, and selfless love. He always said that his proudest accomplishment was raising three beautiful and strong children with the love of his life. Elwood adored being a granddad to his two grandchildren with all his heart. Throughout his life, Elwood spent many hours driving to and from the rink to watch his daughter and her figure skating. He truly loved every minute of it. He was known as everyone’s “skating dad,” and he was always there to support and encourage anyone who needed it. He also loved listening to rock music and driving nice cars, hobbies that he shared with his sons. Elwood was known as a kind, dedicated husband and father with a brilliant sense of humor; traits which he instilled within each of his children. Elwood leaves to mourn; his wife Margaret Newhook (Burke); his children Tyler (Rebecca), Robert (Melanie), and Erica (Alison); and his grandchildren Oliver and Rose Newhook. Also remembering Elwood with love are his siblings William (Lesa), Mervyn (Sam), Elizabeth (Donald), Edward (Leanne) and their families, along with a wide circle of extended family and friends, all of whom he loved and cherished. Elwood’s legacy will live on through the immense love and endless laughter he gave to us and all the lives he shaped along the way. Predeceased by his parents Roland and […]
