Lewis was my brother and my mentor throughout our entire lives. As a young boy in kindergarten, he made the rules by deciding that he was tired and he'd get up, walk out the doors of the school and go home for a nap or to watch television. Mom would have to walk him back to school and wait outside to make sure he stayed until it was time to go home. Acting silly in class got him sent to the coat room where he would happily make himself comfortable with many coats on the floor and eat from every lunch box there, what ever he wanted. His favorite thing to do at grandma Henry's was to take a spoon, head to the basement and open and consume jars of her canned tomatoes. Riding bicycles as children, he was always in the lead ahead of Larry and I. He loved the "escape" of freedom from homework, chores, etc., and we would often venture down many a country road, for hours, returning before dark and (our curfew). Through our talks over the years, we shared our hopes, dreams, and the adventures we had individually. Being born 11 months apart, mom used to say that we were more like twins the way we looked out for one another. As we became older, I found that I had never laughed so much, nor enjoyed the talks as much with anyone else, as I did with Lewis. I miss him daily even still and often feel as though he is still here watching over me at times. His life connected with more lives in his 55 years than anyone else I know, and in many, many special ways. Now, he is in Heaven and keeping the laughter and fun going, with our parents, Grandpa Lawrence, Grandma and Grandpa Henry and especially with our favorite uncle, Uncle Bill. I read your favorite poem often Lewis, and think of you everyday and miss you very much. Sis

lewis was my brother-in-law. i did not get to spend very much time with him as we were never in the same place at the same time.

my fondest memory of lew is the time we spent riding our bikes togeather. lew, his wife jeanie(my sister), me and my wife(patty), and her brother jack, would ride 50 miles for a cup of coffee and turn around and head back.

but the most important thing in the world to me, was his love and respect for my sister. for that, he is in a better place and we will see him again. you will be missed.

RIDE ON BRO, LONEWOLF WILL SEE YOU AGAIN!!!!!

Lewis Henry was my uncle. He was more than that. He taught me to ride my first motorcycle, we shared a passion for history and I loved him very much. He will be missed.

Until we meet again.

Lewis Henry was my brother. A good brother who had many medals from the Vietnum war. He was a crew chief for the Black Widow group of 101 st. Helicopter Assault Battalion Army. He was at one time years back. A reserve Police Officer for K.C.K. He is the one that got me into my career as Deputy Sheriff for Wyandotte County.

I will miss him very much.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Lewis's wife, children, grandchildren, and extended family. I hope that you can all find some comfort knowing that Lewis has been greeted by many loved ones who have gone before him- parents, grandparents, and many aunts, and uncles. On behalf of the grandchildren of Lorene Harding: God Speed, our thoughts are with you.
