My sympathies to the family of my cousin Lew, my childhood playmate and sharer of so many memories of our dear parents Big Mike, Clara, Mary and Joe and of vacations spent together and visits to the Farm. He lives on in our hearts.

Lew,
Well old buddy we've had alot of good years. We became the best of friends in 1966 at WVU and over the years we've become brothers. Gary Anne and I will always miss you, but we'll cherish the good times.
Rest in peace Lew.
We Love You,
