Robert Lewis Obituary
Robert W. Lewis
June 4, 1934 - Jan. 24, 2022
AUBURN - Robert W. Lewis, 87, of Auburn passed away Monday, January 24, 2022, at the Commons on St. Anthony Street. Bob was born in Auburn on June 4, 1934, the son of the late William and Ann (Bodner) Lewis.
Bob was a member of the National Guard before enlisting in the U.S. Navy. He was a faithful communicant of St Mary's Church. Bob was a member of the VFW of Auburn, and a dedicated member of the SK Post 1324 American Legion for many years, participating in their Color Guard. He was an avid fan of sports, following the NY Mets and the NY Giants throughout the years. He was regular at all the Auburn Doubledays games, but his greatest joy came from spending time with his family and friends.
Bob is survived by his devoted wife and best friend Carol (Hribick) Lewis; his loving family: Julie Lewis, RJ and Rachel Lewis, Kathy Coomber, Marybeth Harvey; his ten grandchildren; and several great-grandchildren; his sisters: Ann Marie White and Linda Humphrey.
Bob was predeceased by his parents and his brother Charles Lewis.
Services with military honors will be held Saturday, January 29, 2022 at noon at the White Chapel Funeral Home, Inc., 197 South Street, Auburn. Calling hours will follow from 1:00 to 3:00 PM at the funeral home.
Friends are then invited to join the family for breaking of the bread, at the SK Post on State St., where the Color Guard will honor Bob's military service.
Bob was always fond of animals. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Bob Lewis may be made to the Finger Lakes SPCA of CNY.

Dear Carol, RJ and Julie: I was so sorry to read of the passing of your husband, father and grandfather. Losing a family member, a friend or co-worker is very difficult. It is also difficult for the care providers as well. Anybody that has lived long enough knows this as factual. My sympathies are with you and your family at this time.
