Kirk Lewis

HOF, my gosh, I cant even begin to put into words how devastating this news is. Your lovely Bride called to share the news and she referred to me as "Doctor Dibble of the Dance Hall Doctors." I wanted to cry..okay, I did. I can't even conceive of the fact that you actually thought enough of this junior Sailor to refer to me in your own private time. But then again, I really shouldn't be surprised at all. Thats exactly the man that you were...or ARE, because your spirit and legacy will...

Kirk and I served together in our first fleet squadron, VA-22. I remember our flight from the west coast to the Philippines to join it. He was a fine pilot and officer and a good guy.

Dear Lora,
I always admired Capt. Kirk even though I did not know him well. After reading his obituary, I admire him even more. Your were a great couple. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I remember you fondly from Lakewood. Love, Nancy Grant

To Lora and family, My sincere condolences with the of passing of Capt. KIrk Lewis. My belated husband Capt. Jack Shields enjoyed working with Kirk while being stationed at Cecil Field. I thank Capt. KIrk Lewis, you and the family for all you did for our beloved country. May the loving memories of Kirk give you comfort, strength and courage for the coming days to come and may God bless all of you, Sophia Shields

Captain Lewis, thank you for your service to America, and thanks to your family for their sacrifices during your service. Our condolences to your wife, your family and dear friends. May God comfort them all and give them strength and courage. We are very, very sorry to see how quickly everything transpired, and the date of the diagnosis. God bless each of you.
