Paul Newman lived a very successful life right up to his death a few days ago at age 83.
In fact, he came from a giving and loving generation, shared by many of our aging parents. There seems to be a refreshing humility with such current octogenarians that many of us will attempt to emulate as we realize it is often times sadly lacking in our own generation.
However, most of us remember and admire Paul Newman because of his film career as well as his salad dressings, but he has a greater legacy of loyalty and charity work.
Newman's Hole in the Wall Camps for children suffering from life-threatening diseases will continue beyond his lifetime.
