Lew was a brave, fearless man, who had convictions and lived by them. He was a many respected by many.He was a devoted father and his children will all be an asset to this world and honor their father in all they do, from serving our country in the military, to carry on the family tradition of 4 generations of elctricians, to raising their own familys, and sharing the memories of Lew with yet unborn children.
Lew will always be alive in my mind the way he was the day I met him, 19,long black hair down his back, standing in the sun looking like the model for some ancient sculptor, When we get where we're going we will all meet again, Kathy

Although Lew was taken away way too early; I know he was satisfied with his life and loved his family and was proud of his children. My last memory of Lew was with his granddaughter Ava; that little girl put the biggest smile on his face that I will never forget. I am so sorry and I'm thinking about each one of you.
Love,
Sarah

I cannot express how sad I am that Lew's life was cut so short. He was a deeply caring and hard working man and will be missed by many. I can't ever remember an occasion when he wasn't putting a smile on someones face. I have many good memories of Lew, and all involved are in my thoughts and prayers.
