Read MoreMr. Crew hired me in Pontiac, Michigan for my first full time teaching position in 1974. What a classy, professional he was! He believed in me, and placed me in an innovative school for the times to jumpstart my career. I´ll always remember him.

Mr. Crew was a very talented man. He was my best friend's father in law. They gave me one of his Crewcraft pens for Christmas. My prayers are with the Crew family.

Lewis Crew was my song flute, clarinet and violin teacher at Longfellow Elementary and also my sixth grade teacher. I will NEVER forget a project he had our class do--We had to plan a deer hunting trip and completely budget all aspects of said trip and also "write checks" to pay for this trip. What a wonderful and extremely useful experience! I still have my trip folder. I believe he sparked my interest in accounting and finance. I saw him again when I worked for Pontiac Schools...

Lewis was a band director and a flute teacher for me. I still remember lessons in the basement. A great role model for me as I followed in his footsteps. Condolences to the family for this wonderful man.

Little did I know when I met Lewis Crew in the spring of 1962 what an influence he would have on my life.......I was NOT a good college student and my academic credentials reflected that. BUT, after interviewing me, he insisted I sign a contract with Pontiac Schools to teach Latin and English. Who could EVER say "no" to Lewis Crew?
