Not sure what to say?





To the Family of Lewis. I feel so compelled to carry your son's beautiful heart to fullfill Dreams we all had as a team. I lived in Jupiter. YOUR SON and his precious girlfriend an inspiring Fashion Designer. We met on the Beach of course. Surfing. I was writing music. He introduced me to Bryce formerly Box Elder. I was known to Lew and friends as Oceiana. Lew had his beach trailor, his Pitbulls. I was blessed to meet Jorge and his family. I became very close to his girl and him. We shared beautiful times. I knew all about Philly, boxing. I left him my Boxing BOB and gloves when I had to move back to California. We shared skate boards to the beach with the wolf who he trained to fetch snook. We BBQ on the regular. I became Petie's mom. Jorge's many litters. We became the Best of Friends. He pushed me to persue my Music and Costa Rican Dreams of my Cali crew. We kept in touch all the time after I moved. We all had a Huge Vision of bringing a surf camp to Keith MSHINDI Ford's land in Pavones, Costa Rica. Surfing was our connection, also Music, Soccer, skate boards and Boxing. My Family is from PA. My Grandmother was placed there last March. My Grandfather is Victor I. Maitland, He founded the NFL Alumni played for the Steelers. He is in his 90's.His Plot is next to hers. My friend MSHINDI RIP 02' Lew was there for me. My heart has grieved so deeply your son. He was such a beautiful person. He had such a beautiful HEART. I am so sorry for your loss. I have sat at his surf racks so many times. I am so happy to see the Positive Foundation in his Honor to keep his beautiful Spirit and kindness in Mocean as we would call it. He has been on my heart alot lately. Your son was a Treasure. He touched so many lives and cared about the really special simple things in Life that matter. Showing Love and kindness to all. Lew is a Legend whom so many adored. His Smile will always remain a treasured chapter of my Life. I have kept in touch with Jorge. I want to make time to visit. May GOD Bless your Family.

I am so terribly sorry for your loss. I can't begin to imagine the depth of your pain. Lewis was a extremely special individual. It's very rare to find someone as genuine and caring as he was. Lewis was a close friend of mine and there won't be a day that passes that he isn't missed.

Dear Brandolini Family,

I am so deeply sorry to hear of Lewis' passing. I was your neighbor on South Leopard Rd. and went to a Malvern dance with Lewis many years ago. Though much time has passed, I still remember very clearly Lewis' bright, energetic spirit and his fabulous smile. Those things will be sorely missed.

As a fellow surfer and lover of the sea, I take comfort (and hope that you do as well) in the fact that he died doing something peaceful, and something that he loved.

May you take comfort in your memories and in eachother during this difficult time, and know that you are being thought of with much support and warmth.

I was friends with lew since he had moved to florida and shared many good times with lew dog. We surfed many of good swells on the northside. I will always remember him as strong minded and forever stoked! Lewis is riding the eternal wave, God Bless and One Love.

We will be praying for you during the paddle-out on kite beach, Sunday at 8am, Jupiter Florida. God bless you. God bless your family during this very difficult time. Lori

Dear Family Brandolini,



It is with deep sorrow that I share your loss. Lewis made a name for himself at the Mount and I suspect everywhere by how he lived life to the hilt. While there's no doubt he left us too soon, I take solace knowing he went out doing what he loved. Who else but Lewis can make one both shake one's head and smile at the same time?! There's no denying that his smile and energy will live on.



My best wishes and sincerest condolences...
