    The world definitely lost a great man in so many ways yesterday (he died Friday, is my understanding). Prayers to his wife who is also a class act, Joanne Woodward. He was truly one of the greats.

    Definitely a class act for sure. I bought one of his chocolate bars in his honor today.

    I just ate some Paul Newman popcorn last night while watching the presidential debate. What a wonderful person. He will be missed.

    Last night while looking for some treats for Chloe I glanced at his dog treats and wondered how he was doing. I knew he had been quite ill and that there had been speculation that he was declining, it was still sad to hear the news this morning.

    I didn't even realize he had passed. That is very sad, and the world is a little lonlier without him around. He was a good man, in so many ways.
    And yeah, I thought he was quite handsome too, although his looks were only one of the reasons he was an attractive man.

    One of the rare celebs that use their fame and fortunes for so much good. He will definitely be missed - -hopefully the young "stars" will learn something from his example of what being a "star" really means.

    I remember seeing him for the first time in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - he was a class act and will be greatly missed. The younger stars could really learn from his example - he was a caring man and a great star that never let his celebrity go to his head. I read where he and his pal Robert Redford were planning to do one more movie together, but Paul’s health had declined too much. I knew he was seriously ill, but it was still sad to hear of his passing.
