Emmett James Lewis

My condolences to Emmett's family and friends. I know he was a great member of the Gary community, but he also was a fantastic member of the University of Colorado community and one of the greatest buffs ever! I saw him drain 36 points in one of his first games with the sweetest jump shot in the Big 8! He gave us so many great memories!

Emmett, what a great ball player for Emerson, reminded of the song your team song during "warmups"....."Fire" (Ohio players). One of my favor Gary Indiana HS basketball teams! Rest in Peace! Marvin West Side 80

Condolences to the entire Lewis family and host of friends. I was so sorry to hear about his passing. I met Emmett early in life playing High School basketball in Gary. I knew he was a great basketball player playing against him and seeing him play. And then after finally meeting him he was even a greater person. He was a very caring and good man. He will always be missed and definitely remembered. May he rest in peace!
