1935 - 2015 (Age 79)
Geoffrey Lewis, a veteran character actor and the father of actress and singer Juliette Lewis, died Tuesday of natural causes at his home in Los Angeles, according to multiple media reports. He was 79.
Geoffrey Lewis' film credits include "Down in the Valley," "The Butcher," "Maverick," "Every Which Way but Loose" and "When Every Day Was the Fourth of July."
His television credits include "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" and "My Name Is Earl," as well as the made-for-TV movie "Salem's Lot."
i met Mr Lewis by chance, in 2006, outside a CA shopping center grocery store, while there waiting to perform for Mr Reagan's interment service. I shook his hand, and thanked him for all the tv/movies I'd seen him play character actors. He genuinely was surprised and happy/humbled that someone actually recognized him without knowing his name. It was a special moment. Rest in peace!

I remember watching several movies with Mr. Lewis in them, loved them. He was such a familiar face, wonderful actor. May his family and friends strengthen each other and know he will be missed by so many. 2 Thessalonians 3:16 assures us we can have the peace we need to deal with these difficult times. Deepest sympathies.
