John A. Lewis

Dear Lewis Family:

I only recently heard of John's passing. I am sorry for your loss. I knew John as a codefendant's attorney on several cases over the years. He was civil, professional, and a credit to our profession. I saw him over the past few years more often in Joliet for the Will County court call. I will miss seeing and chatting with John. I join with the many people who made entries in this guest book to give you some comfort in this difficult time.

Ode to a man who could make you smile,
While he puffed a cigar and drank Old Style.

Heres to the man, a karaoke king,
"Oh Danny Boy" was his favorite to sing.

An Irishman from head to toe,
He was someone you just had to know.

When John was around no one was a stranger,
and unless you were a Cardinal fan you were not in any danger.

We will miss his smile, his warmth and his love,
And find peace in knowing he's watching from above.

Our prayers...

I really enjoyed John's spirit and friendship. I will miss his laughter and the fun times fishing with him. Sometimes God takes the good one's early in life. My heart goes out to Dom, Cathy, and Marie.

I was saddened to hear of John's passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Lewis family. I had the pleasure to work with John a few years back at LMI and have many fond memories. John would keep us entertained with his many stories and jokes. His smile always lit up a room and it was also very contagious. That is how I will remember John.

My deepest sympathies to the Lewis family. John was a great guy, loving husband and good father. I worked with John for a while and I recall how proud he was when talking about his kids or how beautifully his wife sang. He will truly be missed.

Dear Marie, Dom, & Cathy, My brother, Bob, just let me know about John's passing. Harry and I were both shocked and saddened by the news. I have to say I was smiling as I read the many guest book enteries, because so many of the stories and thoughts brought to mind my own memories of John. He was so much fun to work with, but he was even more fun to sit and talk to. He was a wonderful man who cared so much for his family and always tried to put a smile on your face when you saw him. I...

My condolences to Marie, Dom, and the entire Lewis family for their sudden loss. As one of John's former colleagues, I remember him for the cheerful spirit and levity he brought to everyone around him. John, you will be greatly missed.

I send my deepest condolences to Marie, Dominick, and Cathy. John was a great man. May God's peace and grace remain with you and your family. I know that John is in a really good place.
