From WSJ:
"Paul was a gentleman in the truest sense of the word who embodied the American ideals of extraordinary integrity, a tireless work ethic, a commitment to family, and a deep sense of responsibility to the people who made his success possible...Newman's Own has been an inspiration for individuals and business leaders alike and helped launch a movement for greater corporate philanthropy. Paul always considered himself an outsider in the corporate sector. His vision was to see companies change the way they conducted business and learn from the Newman's Own model of giving back. He was reticent around CEOs, but he quietly aimed to revolutionize corporate America...
Paul's passion for philanthropy was rooted in the strong belief that we had a great obligation as individuals and companies to give back some of the benefits that we were granted as free and prosperous citizens of the United States. He believed that corporations are granted a license to operate by their communities, and therefore have the responsibility to be good citizens in return"
