Lew is a colleague with whom I shared many hours of delightful and interesting conversations. He made me laugh so often.

Miss you, my friend.

(Lew, I promise I WILL watch “Inglorious Basterds.”)

Lew Tate impacted the lives of countless students in many ways during his more than three decades as a member of the SCAD faculty. Lew wore many hats at SCAD, among them beloved educator, respected mentor, soccer coach, and generous volunteer, and he always imbued his work with joy, warmth, and genuine care for others.

I was honored to recognize Lew with the title of Professor Emeritus upon his retirement in 2017, and his legacy endures at SCAD. I will always remember his wit, kindness, and warm smile. The lives of his many students and colleagues are all far better for having known him. His was a true educator’s heart, and I remain ever grateful to him for sharing his wisdom with SCAD.

I extend my deepest condolences to Lew’s wonderful family whom he loved so very much. Lew is forever a cherished member of the SCAD community and is dearly missed.
