So sorry to hear you've lost your Dad. What a super guy. Lewie and my Dad, Cy Leonard were great friends. Dad passed away in March and surely is welcoming Lewie to his new home in Heaven. They worked the Shrine Circus together and the Shrine Baseball Tournament. Lewie and Imogene have also been out to my place at the lake with some of Dad's other friends. Lewie and Dad both had big hearts for the children that are helped through the efforts of the Shriners. God Bless those children and all the Shriners who support them. My Mother, Rose, also sends her sympathy. She always enjoyed Lewie and Imogene's company.
