Our many wishes of warmth and love to the family of Paul Newman. He was an incredible man whom, along with his family, touched many lives - even those who dont know. He believed in helping those less fortunate through his givings. In our cruel world we live in today, Paul cared and we are all blessed for knowing him. May you rest in peace Paul, and know you will never be forgotten.

My condolences to Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman's extended family. All our deaths are inevitable. The death of someone who gave so much to community is a stinger. He becomes another star in the sky that we can look toward and who looks down on us to see that we also are giving to our community.

We all knew that he was very sick, but we were hoping for a miracle. My heart goes out to his loving wife of many years, Joanne Woodward, and his entire family. I have admired and watched him for many years in all of his movies, especially my favorites, The Long Hot Summer, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof . . . to name a few. He was a great actor, a notable producer-director, a racing car enthusiast, a political activist and a philanthropist, and have heard he was counted as the person who had distributed more money — in relation to his own wealth — than any American in the 20th century. There are very few of these individuals left in the world and he will be missed by all of us.

Please accept my deepest sympathy on the passing Paul Newman. His greatness as an acting icon is legendary but the true measure of Mr. Newman is his generosity. This is his legacy. He was truly a light onto the world.

My heart goes out to the Newmans's daughters. I lost my Dad last year at 83. No matter how much you know that he is in a better place, there will always be an empty place in your hearts for your Dad. Our fathers shared a birthday, Navy service, a love for racing (and beer!). I hope they have met in the next life and enjoy their company as much as e have while they were here.

Thank you sharing yourself with us for so many years. There will never be another like you. You will be sadly missed.

Thank you Mr. Newman for generously donating your life to entertain others, for your never ending charitable contributions and for personifying the true meaning of "a class act". You will be sorely missed. Rest in your eternal reward. God bless you...

To Paul Newman's family: I'm not so much a groupie as an admirer of conviction, one that's lasted a lifetime. From what I've read, your loving and committed man has walked his walk, with generosity, compassion and humor. And with steadfastness rare not only to Hollywood, but I'm sorry to say, in much of our society. I admired what I knew of him, and I am so sympathetic to your loss. God bless you all.

Paul Newman was one of the first actors I ever heard of when my parents enjoyed his early movies as a 1950's married couple. I knew he was "a heartthrob" and that he was important but I was a child so that's all I knew at first. His popularity with my parents kept my eyes on him and over the years I noted his long term marriage, his freedom from scandal, his very down to earth interviews and eventually his philanthropy. He became for me a man whose greatest contributions went far beyond acting and a role model for a well lived and purposeful life. Thank you Paul Newman for charting your own course and never being lead astray by the elixir of fame and adoration. Thank you Joanne Woodward and all the Newman children for sharing him with the world. We can never know the depth of your personal grief, but a light has definitely gone out on our Earth with the passing of Paul Newman. May he know enjoy for all eternity the peace and joy he so richly deserves.

My heart and thoughts go out to the entire Newman family. I was a young man fresh out of Hotel school when Mr. and Mrs. Newman lived at The Carlyle in New York. Needless to say I was mortified of doing the wrong thing around the Newmans, but they were so encouraging, charming and so down to earth they put my mind (and body) at ease. They never failed to ask me about my day or enquire about my family. What a class act --- he will be missed.
