Carol and I will miss Lew, his farm, his wonderful train collection. It was the most complete collection of American Flyer I ever saw. Lew was a good, solid friend. I am sorry.

Louey was a friend and good man. I had some good memories hunting at the farm many years back. We had good conversations and his train collection was always a joy to look at and talk about. He will be missed
