Damned good race car driver, too. RIP

Doc.

Yes he was, I met him a few times while crewing and racing in SCCA and IMSA back in the late 80's, he was a true gentleman and just an all aroud good guy. He will be missed.

I met him and spent time with him and his team at one of his last appearances in public as a guest of the Newman-Haas racing team at Elkhart Lake, WI in 2007. My friends mother-in-law was in her final stages of cancer, and absolutely loved Paul. While in her hospital bed, she asked her husband to please get her an autograph. Paul graciously autographed a very rare special picture for her, which was very much cherished in the last few remaining days for her life. Shortly after he made that appearance - I'd heard he himself was diagnosed with cancer.

I've heard behind the scene stories of his incredible generosity. For a good portion of the his remaining years, he literally devoted all of his resources to the "Hole in the Wall Gang" camp. Those I know that have visited the camp have been blown away with what has been accomplished with the funds that have been invested by Paul.

He will be truly missed...

Luke: I can eat fifty eggs.
Dragline: Nobody can eat fifty eggs.
Society Red: You just said he could eat anything.
Dragline: Did you ever eat fifty eggs?
Luke: Nobody ever eat fifty eggs.
Prisoner: Hey, Babalugats. We got a bet here.
Dragline: My boy says he can eat fifty eggs, he can eat fifty eggs.
Loudmouth Steve: Yeah, but in how long?
Luke: A hour.
Society Red: Well, I believe I'll take part of that wager.

Unbelievable!!

We watched Butch Cassidy just last night.

Don't forget another one of his best efforts, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.

Great actor. Great guy.

We lost a good one in Mr. Newman. Even his salad dressing rocks.
May he R.I.P.
