Richard Lewis Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 11, 2012.
Richard "Rich" Edward Lewis, Jr., 63, passed away on Tuesday, December 11, 2012. Born in Manhattan, New York on September 11, 1949, Rich was raised in Waldwick, New Jersey. He was a veteran of the United States Army and had retired from AT&T before moving to Florida.

Rich was a very outgoing and caring person. He would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. He would help anyone who needed help and was quick with a joke. Rich was outgoing, relied on common sense, was sensitive to the needs of others, and liked to keep focus on the big picture.

Survivors include his adoring wife of 28 years, Christine Lewis; his twin daughters, Adrianna and Jessica Lewis; his grandchildren, Hannah Lewis and Liviana Perez; his parents, Richard and Catherine Lewis; and his sisters, Sharon Chriss and Cathy Correri.

Memorial services will be private.
