To Larry, Marvin and the Lewis Family.
I just had the opportunity to meet your father about an week ago, at his cousins funeral he was attending. A very sharp and impressive man. When my Father introduced him as Lewis, I knew right away before he said it was your father Larry, the striking resemblence. I know you all will miss him and so will others dearly. May God wrap his arms around your family at this time and we all will be praying for you.
