Bob Lewis was surely a visionary. The Firm's culture of professional excellence; team effort; and absolute dedication to the client endures because Bob Lewis and Lou Jackson mandated these qualities be present in every lawyer. Rest in Peace, Bob.

I first met Bob Lewis when I was an attorney with the NLRB in Newark in 1959. Over the years our lives crossed paths often, culminating in my serving as "of Counsel" in his firm for about 8 years before retiring. He was an affable yet knowledgeable attorney, recognized as preeminent in his chosen field. My condolences to his family and friends.
