Maurice will be greatly missed. We just worked with him a few months ago. He was our lead tech on nights. Great guy and good tech. We will miss you.. Our condolences to his family.

I worked with Maurice Newby for 12 years.  If he could stand up and take a smear, I'd work with him again.  Great guy.  Worked hard.  Didn't complain.  I reminisce of the time when Keith B. asked him why his family reunion T-shirt didn't have "Newby" on it, but some other name.  Maurice just looked at him and said "Where I come from, Newbys don't marry other Newbys."

My condolences to his family and friends.

I found  out last week when I came in to work. I could not even comment for a week. I have met a few people that I have wished I could be more like. Maurice was a GIANT here, he earned everyone's respect! I am a better person because I met him. I think all of his friends would agree with that. He truly will be missed.

Is this the same Newby that worked at Newport News Shipyard in the 80's? Left and went to TVA, if so he was an inspiration to us all when he left............my condolences to the family,,either way

Yes, Maurice worked at Newport News.  I first met him there when I was stationed on the Nimitz and we were there for the first overhaul.  I instantly liked him.  We both ended up at Browns Ferry.  He was a fine man, a great HP, and will always be an inspiration to all of us who knew him.
