Mr. George A. Lewis

I had the pleasure of attending Mr. Lewis' estate sale today, and now own many pieces of his. I was moved to pay respects to Mr. Lewis. He seems to have lived a full and varied life, with many interesting facets. Godspeed to him and his family. May he rest in peace.

Pete & Amy - Sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I always looked forward to when your family would visit your Betham grandparents, my Uncle Herb & Aunt Doris for a week or two at Lake St. Catherine, VT in the summer. Its been many years since then, but I recognized the pictures of your Dad straight away. Glad he got to meet his great grandson Jameson. I'll definite raise a martini soon in his memory. Your 2nd Cousin, Peter

Offering our sincere condolences. May the God of love comfort your heart and make you firm in your time of grief. 2 Thessalonians 2:16,17.

Remembering Geo.

My father in law (ex but we did not let that alter our nearly 50 year connection) died on Saturday.

He was kind, moral, loyal, and he hated squirrels. He was an old school family man.

One of his biggest joys was his granddaughter Jessica. He and Grammy arrived at the hospital within hours of her birth and stayed closely connected throughout her life.

Knowing the importance of family, Rob and Jessica made the trip to New Jersey so Geo could meet his great grandson Jameson. Jessica spoke with him the day before his heart attack.

While his death is sad, I am blessed to have been a part of his life to the very end. He received my Christmas card just before his heart attack and I received his just before his death.

He was a wonderful grandfather. Jessica loved to climb on his briefcase when he arrived home from work. As a baby he read to her and played on the floor. We spent many summers together at a lake house. He rejoiced in her accomplishments and treasured the time they spent together. He was happy she found a loving man to share her life with.

He was also a wonderful father in law. Even in the difficult times we supported each other. He loved me and I loved him.

I am choosing to honor his life, not by feeling a loss, but by rejoicing in all of the happiness he added to mine.

In that spirit, please do the same by taking a moment to call and speak with someone important in your life and tell them you love them. Take a friend for coffee. Write a note.

God speed George Lewis. I'm sure Grammy and Winston Churchill were waiting for your arrival!

My fondest memories of childhood are of our summers at Lake St Catherine in VT with our grand-parents, my parents and siblings, Aunt Barbara, Uncle Geo, and cousins Peter and Amy. He was a great man and although he will be missed, I know he is where he was happiest...with Aunt Barbara.
