Our deepest sympathies for the Lewis family. I have fond memories of fishing trips with Jim & my dad. I remember as a kid how Jim would run out to the mud room at my parents house every time the fireplace would pop so he could get a shot of whiskey or "touch" as he called it. We lost a great one. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
