Lewis Muka Obituary
Lewis was a lifelong farmer. He had a love for farming, bee keeping, maple syrup production, gardening and forestry. He loved spending time with his family. He ran a very successful dairy farm with his family from the time he was 17 years old. In the 1970's he sold off the dairy cattle, but maintained all other aspects of the farm and took a position with Northeast Utilities. He worked in various positions with NU completing 20 years of service with them, retiring to the farm in Leyden.
Besides his beloved wife of sixty nine years, Irene D. (Dompier) Muka, Lewis leaves two sons, Michael Muka and his wife Irene of Fort Wayne, IN and James Muka and his wife Joyce of Leyden; four grandchildren, Shannon Schneider and her husband Fred of Fort Wayne, IN, Matthew Muka and his wife Ella of Leyden, Peter Muka of Leyden and his partner Laura Hancock, and Kyle Muka and his wife Sarah of San Diego, CA; four great grandchildren, Mason, Liam, Remi and Sawyer; a brother, Arthur Muka and his wife Betty of Ithaca, NY; and many cousins, nieces and nephews.

Growing up in Leyden I remember visiting Mr. & Mrs. Muka with my father. I had an opportunity to stop by his home many years ago and visited with he and wife, and they were just as warm and friendly as I remembered them to be. My thoughts are with Mrs. Muka and her family at this time. Marlene
