To the Newman Family:
As I sit here, with tears rolling down my cheeks,I want to send my condolences to you. Paul Newman was an extraordinary human being. His acting was secondary to his genuine giving and making better, the lives of others, especially children. To quote a line from "Cool Hand Luke", he was one world shaker

I will always remember Paul Newman as a Hollywood star for whom acting was about the craft and not the limelight. Because of his talents, good grace and generosity, he will be remembered not just as a great actor but a great man.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences, to everyone who loved Mr. Newman. I had the honor of meeting him one time as a production crew member during a race in Indy in the early 90s, and his character was obvious even in the short period. He was kind, generous, and humble, and his life touched many that I'm sure even he didn't realize. His passing is a loss to us all.

My sympathy to all those whose lives touched his. He was truly a generous man who graciously shared his wonderful talent, his love for his wife, and his determination to leave the world a better place. A true American icon has left us.

i am 57 yrs. old and can remember growing up watching mr. newman. my father and mother, thought there was no others actors but mr. newman and john wayne. their values seem to jump out at you on the t.v. when we were watching them, and my father thought if we could just turn out half as good as them he had done his job. there was never a movie he made that we did not like he was good looking and charming but most of all it just came across that no matter who he was playing the whole part was really him. he will be greatly missed by my family, and we will keep his family in our prayers. to mrs.newman we offer the most heartfelt sympathies, and hope that you and your family will get through this as he would hope the very best for you. i'm not real educated, but i just wanted to say thank you mrs. newman for sharing such a fine and wonderful man with the world he will never be forgotten god bless you and keep you in his loving arms

My first thoughts upon hearing the sad news was for his wife and family. The legacy of Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward's lenghty and loving marriage in the midst of Hollywood's marriage turnover has got to be the greatest testimony to them both. While I loved and admired him as an actor and director, the devoted husband is what I'll most admire. As such I am deeply saddened for Joanne at this time and my heartfelt prayers for the Lord's comfort to see her through this difficult time.
