The world should be a better place because a man has lived. It was because of Paul Newman. RIP.

What a great guy, actor, race car driver, entrepreneur...
I wonder if they have 917's in heaven?

Guys,
Not sure that I am "back" whatever that means, but could not resist posting this. The announcement had come out on Fox News and I checked PPOT and nothing was posted. Waited 10 minutes and still nothing so decided to put it up. Really fine man. As Scott says, I really hope that they have 917's in Heaven and he is sitting in one right now. You do not start to feel your age until something like this happens. You look around and all your "hero's" are passing away. Kinda makes you realize that "nothing is forever" and eventually your time will come. Joe A

I don't see anyone filling his shoes, we just watched Cat on a Hot Tin Roof for the first time last month.

Very sad to hear this but thanks for the post. He was a fine gentleman and certainly will be missed. He leaves a tremendous legacy. What more can be said.
Joe, Hope all is well with you! Regards from an east coast QB. (UCA) |
