Lewis LEDERMAN

Passed away peacefully on December 5, 2024. Devoted spouse of Margot Panet and proud father of Alexander (Sarah), de Lobe (Hannah), and Margot (Max). Loving GP to Isla, Sloane, and Madeleine. Predeceased by his parents, William Ralph Lederman and Edna Thompson Lederman. Survived by his brothers, Peter and William. Born in Saskatoon, Lew graduated with a BA (gold medallist) and LLB from Queen's University. His career mirrored his many interests: Lew was a lawyer, businessman, author, illustrator, and adjudicator. A left-handed Presbyterian with an encyclopedic memory and broad range of knowledge, his bow ties were his trademark. But his greatest pride was his family. All services to be held at Hulse, Playfair & McGarry's Central Chapel at 315 McLeod Street in Ottawa. Visitation from 4 to 7 p.m. on December 11, 2024. Celebration of life at 10 a.m. on December 12, 2024 followed by reception. In lieu of flowers, donations to Hospice Care Ottawa in Lew's memory would be appreciated.
