I was on jury duty and had the pleasure of knowing Brandon there and also at Raintree Country Club. I miss his face and smile.

Joyce and I remember the old days when we would go to Philadelphia for baseball, visit in many instances even if it was to collect antique china cabinets shipped with thransferrees household goods, or just to admire your garden. Brandon was always a friend when we were with DuPont. Our sincere sympathies to all the family. We will always cherish our memories of the good times with the Brandon Lewis family

Lewis family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Mr. Lewis was always so kind and welcoming and I used to love the way he would tease us when I came to spend the night with Beth. You are all in my prayers.

Dawn and family,
It is with saddened heart that we heard of Brandon's passing. He and I were very close in our young years and I so cherish our reunion in Tennessee a couple of years ago. He was a special cousin.
Your family is in our prayers.
