My prayers are with my family right now as they all say solong to our Uncle Lewis. I have great memories of him as he spent so much time at the Stevens family home on 32nd Avenue in Anchorage when I was a little girl. I have lived in California for many years now but when ever I visited he was always near by in a car whereever the family gathering was at the time.

The last time I saw Lewis was when I was leaving Copper Center for the last time in 1979.
He was walking up the road to Johnny's house. We miss him. Our prayers are with the Goodlataw family and Johnny. Lewis was one of a kind and a very special person. May he rest in peace.
