Not sure what to say?

Mr. Beatty was a great mentor and boss. I learned so much from him. I will cherish the fond memories and knowledge he passed along to me.

A wonderful neighbor. A gentleman. He served his country and the community well.

Roy I am sorry to hear about your father, I have heard a lot about him from my previous in laws but never had the pleasure to personally know him. Betty and I are sorry that we missed cemetery service and reception, but I haven't been checking my email on a regular basis.

Lew was an exemplary model as a lawyer, community leader, Rotarian, and last but certainly not least as a generous friend and loving family member. His wit was tempered with kindness and his keen professional skills were accompanied by grace. I will always treasure my memories of time spent with him and know he will be sorely missed by many.

Lew was one of those guys that you expect will live forever, and he will, in our minds. His accomplishments were so many and so varied. He was a great friend to my father, Bill Clement. I sang with Lew and Peggy for several years in the Valley Voices, and he was always a joy and always there, unless it was impossible to get there.
Lew’s passing will leave a huge hole in a lot of places; I know his family is gathered together now to celebrate his wonderful life. I wish I could be...

Lew and Peggy were great friends to my family, especially my parents, Janet and Bill Hulme. He will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.

More than a colleague, more than a professional, more than a gentleman. Patience, kindness, humility, honesty and integrity - Lew displayed those noble qualities of character that reflected the highest ideals of human nature.

We were very blessed to get to know Lew and Peggy through Rose Valley Folk. Lew always had a warm and welcoming personality. He is a legend and will be missed.

Lew was a gentleman's gentleman, a lawyer's lawyer. He was the bets exemple of a fine polite lawyer when lawyers were nice people. Don Weiss
