Stephen Lewis Obituary
06/27/23
Beloved husband, brother, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle and brother-in-law died on June 27, 2023 at the age of 86. Born to Desna and Stephen Sr. in Brooklyn and raised in Westchester, at age 23 Steve met Jane, whose love and devotion during their 62 years of marriage anchored his life. A graduate of Princeton University and Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Steve was a pediatrician at Greenwich Pediatrics for 41 years. His dry-wit and intelligence will be missed by all who knew him. Friends and family will especially miss hearing about one of his ever-expanding set of hobbies over a pint of Swiss Almond Haagen Dazs. In addition to Jane, who he cherished, he is survived by his brother Jim Lewis (Arden); children Jonathan Lewis (Ellen), Robert Lewis (Deborah), and Jennifer Yamron (Bernard); grandchildren Deborah Shorstein (Mat), Michael Lewis (Anna), Emily Yamron, Elizabeth Yamron, Jacob Lewis, and Juliet Lewis; and great-grandchildren Sylvia and Lana. A funeral service will be held at Rye Community Synagogue, 200 Forest Avenue in Rye, New York at 12:30 p.m. on Friday, June 30, 2023. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Steve's memory to Feeding Westchester at feedwestchester.org.

I had the opportunity to work with Steve for nearly a decade at Greenwich Hospital i Greenwich, CT. As a speech-language pathologist, we consulted regularly on children. Importantly, he was also, my own children's pediatrician for several years until I left there. Always, I think of Steve and to this day, comment to other professionals about the knowledge and openness to collaborate shown by Steve and his colleagues. I fondly remember visits with my young son and his exchange with him as we laughed and commented on his emerging speech-language skills! Shine on, Steve!

Dr. Lewis gave me the confidence to be a good mother. He was in the room with me when they brought my first child into be fed for the first time. I was petrified! With humor, grace and an actual physical demonstration.... he taught me everything I needed to know and he was a great friend and doctor to my family for over 20 years! He was a great man. RIP Dr. Lewis

Dr. Lewis (and his partner Dr. Korval) saw my kids through both the good times and the tough times of their childhoods with skill, compassion, and humor. The best doc anyone could ask for.

My children were patients at Old Greenwich Pediatrics. I was always thankful for Dr. Lewis' vast knowledge concerning every parenting bump in the road. May his memory be a forever blessing.

I am saddened to hear of Steve´s passing.He taught me so much as a young nurse and educated me about all his hobbies when I worked at Greenwich Pediatrics. In addition to being an excellent and compassionate doctor his dry humor is a great memory.
