On behalf of my family, our deepest, heartfelt condolences go to Lewie's family. Lewis, was my best friend at Holy Trinity, Saint Raphael Academy and beyond. We had some awesome times growing up; playing baseball in his neighborhood, swimming, bike rides to Lincoln Woods. He is still present with us and I'm positive he is with the Lord now. Mark, Paul, Chris, and Bill also send Lew's wife and children their condolences as well. God Bless the Fram Family.

My sympathy goes out to all of Lew's family and friends.

I've worked with Lew for many years. I'll never forget how he made me laugh each and every day, or his need to compete and wager (coffee and chocolate) on just about anything. He was a great guy who will never be forgotten.

Kat & Mitch, your dad loved you very much, not a day went by that he didn't talk to me about you. He was so proud of you both. Continue to make him proud.

I'll miss you Lew!

My heart goes out to Chris, Kat and Lew's family and friends. Though I had not spent time with Lew since he and Chris parted, I always appreciated how he was always right there with Chris when it came to Katherine. It seems their friendship and respect for each other grew stronger in some ways after their marriage. Not too many couples can say that! I'll remember Lew for the way he supported Chris with Kat, for the way he talked about his family (The four hours from CA to Vegas is a long drive! You can learn a lot about someone in that time!), and for his openness. He was an old soul in many ways. His service was very touching. You all felt so blessed to know him. And it was apparent that he was quite blessed as well. You are all in my prayers during this difficult time.

To Kat & Mitch and all Lew's family.
If I say we joked, laughed and sang songs just about every time we spoke on the phone, it would be an understatement. He was friend as well as a co-worker and had a spirit that will always be remembered.
Keep him in your hearts always, as he had you in his and he will never really be gone.

To Lew's Family,

For the brief time that I knew Lew, I was able to get to know one of the kindest, funniest and sweetest men I have ever known. My heart goes out to his children, who I know he just worshipped the ground they walked on. My deepest and sincerest sympathies goes out to Lew's family on the passing of such a wonderful man. He will be sadley missed by so many people.

Lew - I'll never forget you.

Lew was a sincere man and a genuine friend to both my mother and I. He was there for us countless times, be it advice or support. He always had my back when Mom was being a "little too strict" and tried to plead my side of the story whenever I got into trouble; he always gave me the benefit of the doubt, and that's something I'll never forget.

I will always admire his selflessness and generosity as well as his devotion to his children.

My deepest sympathies and condolences go out to his family and his children. He will be missed greatly.

If on life’s journey my ship sails from your sight

My thoughts and prayers to Lew's entire family.

Lew and I hit it right off when we met around 1986 or so.
We worked at Kinney Shoes in Lincoln and quickly became friends. Infact he was in my wedding.

I'll never forget the Celtics - Bucs battles or Rams vs Razorbacks battles we would have, all in good fun of course. I remember going to the first round of the NCAAs in Providence together back in the late 80's. We still talked about what a great weekend that was and how excited Lew was to see the games live.
We grew into our own lives but still kept in touch, either by email or the yearly Christmas card with the kids pictures.

Rest in Peace Lew.

My thoughts and prayers are with Lew's entire family. To Kat & Mitch: know that your dad loved you very very much.
In the short time that I knew Lew, we became very good friends. He was the kind of person that always made you smile.
I will never forget you my friend.

I am an old Holy Trinity Friend when Lew was just a boy. I remembered Lew as the boy with a hole in his heart. We were always careful with him and he was always mad for that. I spoke to Lew over the past year for the first time in 30 years. It sure was nice to hear his voice. First words out of his mouth was what a nice girl he had married and the two wonderful kids he was blessed with. He didnt leave me much time to talk but that was Ok. I see the hole in his heart as a young boy was filled in by 3 wonderful people. I hope you will all celebrate his life, he will visit again in your dreams just wait and see.

On behalf of Katherine and myself we say a great person is now gone. Lew was my rock when it came to our daughter. He would always tell me how great a job I was doing when I felt I wasn't. He was always there to listen when I needed it most. He lived for his childern and his light will shine on in there eyes. Lew I will always love you and Kat and Mitch will surely make their dad proud.

To All of Lew's Family and Friends,

Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you today and always. I will be forever grateful that Lew came into my life. He was a wonderful friend who has made me a better person just by knowing him.

I have never seen a father love his children more than Lew loved Kat and Mitch. His children were his life. Lew was a wonderful support to me and my family and I will never forget that.

I know Lew is watching down over us smiling. I know we will see him again one day and I smile knowing the next time will be forever, no more good byes, no more tears. I couldn't imagine a better person watching over my son until I arrive in heaven.

I will pray every day for Lew's family's continued comfort. He was truly one of the good guys. The kind of guy that you are thankful that came into your life.

Lew, until we meet again...Thanks for everything, you were everything a best friend is.

God Bless.

Rich McGowan, on behalf of Linda, Miranda, Dylan and Angel Matthew.
