Paul Martin Newman

I had Paul Newman for physics at Pontiac Northern during his first year of teaching, fresh out of Michigan State. I remember that he (a high school valedictorian, as I recall) was very surprised at the low level at which the students in Pontiac operated, but a grateful recipient of his precocious excellence as a teacher. I hope he was not discouraged by the experience, and continued to encourage his students as much as he encouraged me, an indifferent student of his subject.

God bless you Paul,you were the best at being caring.

Paul was brilliant and kind man.He always worked hard to find answers.God bless you Paul.

I taught with Paul. I want you to know he was a very special man. He was unique. Never forget that. That's how I'll remember him.

Paul was a great neighbor. He was very friendly and he will be missed by the neighborhood.

I taught with Paul "way back when" at PNHS, when he was teaching Physics. I really liked him and wish the family my sincere sympathies on your lose.

Paul was that wonderful big brother that you hear about. He taught me how to climb a tree, ride a bike, play baseball and even made me do a math problem before I was allowed to shoot for a basket. He was kind, honest, loving, and generous. I will miss him more than words can express.
