This might sound a little weird, but although i was surprised he died, dont be too upset.

I haven heard a word about Paul Newman in years, or of all that he had been doing, but now everythign he has done just got a ton of free publicity: only good can come from that. This coincides with me seeing a review of his spaghetti sauce, saying it was the best out there. He was a good man with high standards, he made great movies, lived a long, full life, and left behind a wake of great accomplishments that can continue on long past him.

If anyone's death in the past several years has called for a good, loud, celebratory Irish wake its Paul Newman. This is definitely a case where we are just mourning our own loss: if you beleiev in an afterlife, he gets the good one.
