Paul Newman has been immortalized forever as an American Film Icon, but I think his true mark on the “human experience” is the organization he created “Newman’s Own Foundation” which donates the income from a line of food products that started initially as a joke (one he stated simply got out of control).
A quote from those who work on this foundation pretty much sums it all up; “For 25 years, we at Newman’s Own have had a front row seat to watch Paul’s entrepreneurial brilliance, humor, and compassion at work helping those in need.”

You will be missed Paul, but ever remembered.
