Rickey E. Lewis

Was a great person we went to school for many years and had many laughs. Rest in peace

Uncle Rick was a great man that did amazing things for the creative arts in the central NY area and beyond. I will miss our hilarious talks as he had an amazing sense of humor, I will also miss getting the out of the blue texts or calls saying "hey I have this project what's you schedule like." when I was young Uncle rick used to teach me about music and media, even let me play around in his studio to let me try making a hit (didn't turn out so well lol). Proud to call him my uncle, and...

George, Karen and family; Our sincere condolences in the loss of your brother/uncle.

Rick and I played soccer together. We used to hold down the fussball table at the Rathskellar in Rome, before legally permitted to be there. We celebrated thanksgiving annually with a traditional pre-thanksgiving get-together, always making the holiday happier. We played hide & seek with a group of friends, at a house party, in our twenties. We followed as many of his bands live performances we could. Staying out way longer than we should. Played Risk all night until the sun came up again....

I was beyond shocked to hear of Ricks passing. I first met him when he worked at the radio station, I would call in and have him play some good music and we would chat on the phone every night. Watching him play in the bands was a highlight of my 20's!! We kept in touch through the years, and I am very proud to have been able to call him my friend!! RIP sweet man, you will be missed!!

This was very shocking and sad news, Rick was a dear friend of mine for the last 50 years. He would often call me to assist him on countless projects large and small over those years. May he rest in peace. He was an extremely talented and creative person.

Rick and I shared an apartment in Rome in the 80s. I did a couple photo shoots for him and went out to see him when he was in the bands Open End and Roger Wilco. We lost touch for a while and I was so happy that I was able to reconnect with him in recent years. I was just thinking a couple days ago that I hadden seen him since December and I missed him. My condolences to all of those who loved him. I know I did.

I am so very sorry ! He did a lot of work for me at my business ( Freeman and Foote Jewelers ) . He was a great guy and I appreciated all his talent and all he did for me . I enjoyed his visits and talks together until I retired. He will be missed !
