"Cool Hand Luke"

Lets face it:
Lawlessly roaming the wild west with the Sundance Kid and on practically every salad dressing bottle in the house, this guy was sure to make an impression on a little guy like me.

But Paul Newman was more than a household name, he was a hero.
Doing what he loved and helping others along the way, he set the perfect example.

He was handsome.
He was great at what he did.
He was an gentleman and a philanthropist.

And now, on the news of his death, I wonder
Where am I headed with my life?

Sure, I might not be on the Big Screen when I grow up, but one doesn't have to be to change the world.  Mr. Newman simply took what he had given to him and used it to make the world a better place.

If I land in just one of Paul Newman's footsteps along the way, I'll know I'm headed in the right direction.

°Rest In Peace°
