He raced sports cars and was married to the same fine woman for around 50 years. He founded a food company "Newman's Own" and gave all the profits to kids. He was also an actor, but every part he played depicted an honorable role. It was befitting of an honorable man.

He was a good man. Steve sent logs to The Hole In The Wall Gang to be used for totem poles a couple of times. He said you couldn't find a nicer man.

my son so admired the character he played in "Cool Hand Luke" so much that he was going to name his first born, Cool Hand Luke (not just Luke); he had a little girl and let that idea go.

His Newman's own salad dressing is the only one I ever use. He was quite a guy.

He filmed a lot of scenes for "Message In A Bottle" in New Harbor and liked Maine so well he also filmed much of "Empire Falls" in the state.

Wonderful actor. Sure will be a tough act to follow....

From all accounts, a great man with amazing integrity too.

I am inspired to pull out Empire Falls again, to see him in his handsome later years.
