Wallace Newnum

Wallace Richard Newnum Jr, age 56, of Kalamazoo, Michigan. Wallace Richard Newnum Jr., also very commonly known as Wally Gator and/or Gator, 56, passed away peacefully Saturday morning with his family by his side. From a small child Gator was a wanderer, he'd take off walking with no specific destination and show up hours later with a story about his adventure. He grew up with many brothers and sisters, so he really enjoyed his beer. He loved children, spent time watching every one of our children. He even taught some of them how to walk. Wally had a love for sports. Some of his favorite teams included the Detroit Tigers and the Florida Gators.
