Paul Newman --- A Great American

Paul Newman passed away at age 83.  He lived the life of a true American in every sense of the word and in deed.  As a movie star, his success as an actor was instantly and lasting.  He was respected by his peers and all that knew him.
 
Newman and his wife choose to live their lives outside the Hollywood lifestyle.  They were private people and he gave very few public interviews.  Newman was also a very generous person, especially with children who needed help and with various charitable organizations.  It has been reported that his food business gave all of its profits to charities that totaled over $250 million.  Paul also visited those charities and especially loved to spend time with the children his charities supported.
 
Paul Newman was an American who made a positive difference in a lot of people's lives and the world.  The people he touched are better off because of his qualities.  Paul Newman brought out the best of qualities on what being an American is all about.
 
God bless you Paul Newman.
