Clara H Colton,( now Clara H.Breault),..was never told of available widow benefits. You SIR reminded,the VA/Gov.,of this oversight,..many years later. I ,her now only surviving,youngest child. Thank you. You corrected,the forgotten Single mother of (5) her due. Benefits. I praise your memory Sir !!! - Mr...

Lew was an effective, principled, and kind man. I was privileged to first know him as a fellow freshman Republican State Senator in 1970. He is prominent in memory as a great and good man - unforgettable when thinking of such.

I will never forget Lew, the first Chairman of the UConn Board of Trustees who helped me as a new legislator advocate for UConn 2000 and higher education. He was a rather diminutive (short) man with a soft voice who was able to get things accomplished that were nothing short of miraculous. We of the UConn community will all miss him terribly.
Denise Merrill, Secretary of the State

Lew was generous, loving and kind and I was blessed and privileged to have known him. He left an indelible mark in my heart forever more.

Thinking of your family during this difficult time. Lew was an incredible man and friend to our family. He will be remembered forever.

Dearest Rick: So sorry, again, for your loss. Alex shared a lovely article about your Dad. I can see that the apple did not fall from the tree in your Family. Continue to celebrate the totality of his life, and not just your loss. In Love and Sympathy, Colleen

Lew Rome was first and foremost a kind and loving man to everyone who had the good fortune to come into contact with him. He truly has left a mark on this earth and deserves his well earned rest.

It was my privilege to know and work with Lew Rome. When you were with him, he gave you his complete attention and respect. Although he obviously had many demands on his time, he blessed me with his friendship and acts of kindness again and again. The world is so much richer because of his presence. I am so grateful to have know him. Judy Grabowicz
