I had known Lew for over two years but we had never met. We shared our interest in the Baby Boomer generation by phone and email. I had hoped to finally meet him last Saturday and was devastated by the news of his death. the week before. He was a good man whose honesty and generosity will be missed.

We are sorry to hear about the loss of Mr. Purdy. Our relationship started in Avalon in 1973 with the purchase of our summer home. His personal interest and care as a realtor and friend will be remembered.
