RIP Stanford Newman
Stanford J. Newman, one of Tampa's cigar industry icons, drove to work Tuesday, a beloved cigar in his pocket.
While reviewing marketing figures at J.C. Newman Cigar Co., he went into cardiac arrest. He died shortly after at Tampa General Hospital. He was 90.
"A better script could not have been written," said his son Eric. "He died on the job at the age of 90. All of us should be so fortunate."
