I'll agree on the Funeral Sermon, it was a bit over-the-top.
However, it shouldn't be too surprising that you may be unaware of people's health problems. Part of it is communication and the other part is if people are listening. For example, I was diagnose in February that I have Autoimmune Hepatitis. I'm not sure you were aware of this, but I did mention it in a couple of my posts and mention it to some people... though again it could have missed by some people and/or forgotten. Other times though, people tend to not want to share personal issues with others for various reasons, and thus its a surprise when shit does happen.
I'm the first to admit that I didn't personally know Newman all that well, knowing him less than half the time you knew him. But whatever things he couldn't share with understand he probably did it to not burden you. He has touched a lot of people and hope that people will remember him for all the good things (unlike me).
