I am a bit of a gear head and when I was a boy my Dad use to take us to the big races at Laguna Seca in Monterey California. At a few of those races Mr. Paul Newman and his teams were there and was always available and personable in the pits. Throughout the years I've had a couple of opportunities to shake his hand and talk about racing. In 2005 Denver hosted its last Denver Grand Prix for the Champ Car Series and I had the opportunity to shoot the race and mingle backstage if you will. I'm not a Star crazy kind of person but my experiences with Mr. Newman were always warm and friendly, I never asked for an autograph and respected his time and space with his business at hand. I will say that I am glad for what he has done for motor sports and more importantly charities throughout the years. In my opinion simply he was a good guy. Thanks and RIP Mr. Newman.
