It still is very strange not to see Chris when I am on the westside.Never would a week go by without seeing Chris at least a couple of times walking down the street.Odd but at times when the accident slips the mind I still expect to see him whenever I travel down main st.Rest in Peace Chris and many prayers with Lewis family.

To The Lewis Family,
I did not know Chris as well as many people that have posted on his guest book but I would like to share a recent story.
This story is called;
PEELING POTATOES WITH CHRIS.
Perhaps you have been one of the fortunate ones to be invited and attend the Thanksgiving Day meal at the Lewis home on Leroy St.
It was my privilege to once again be invited to attend the Lewis Thanksgiving meal for the most recent past thanksgiving meal...just several weeks ago.
I had just arrived at the house Thanksgiving morning and entered command central...the kitchen. The General staff led by Greg, Becky and Peggy were in the midst of menu review and preparation details...and who was going to do what.
It was quickly suggested that my help could be used immediately to assist Chris in peeling 10+ pounds of potatoes.
As the kitchen has already filled with the family in the midst of breakfast, food prep, and conversation, Chris and I were sent out into the driveway with a potato peeler and a milk crate seat.
Over the course of an hour and 10 LBS of potatoes we discussed the family and our life's. Chris told me about his daily routine, hang outs, circle of friends and side jobs.
It was only a simple task. A task meant to assist in preparation of the thanksgiving meal. A task completed early on to please the command staff.
This is my last memory of spending time with Chris and sharing a moment together. I hope it brought a smile to your face.

To the Lewis Family,
I'm so sorry to hear of Chris's tragic passing. I will never forget the two neighbors who arrived to welcome our family the day we moved in down the block, 5 yr olds "Chrissy" and "Greggy". From that day we had the best group of kids to play with, sing with, get in trouble with and grow up with. I have not seen Chris in several years but will never forget his easy going and good-natured style. My thoughts and prayers are with the whole Lewis family and Chris's children.
January 9, 2010
Heaven has another angel. Your kind way & constant smile will always come to mind when anyone mentions Chris Lewis. Thoughts & prayers are with your family. Rest in peace Chris.

For those of us who were able to attend Chris' funeral Mass, we won't soon forget the filled church of people from many walks of life. The center aisle lined 2,3 and 4 people abreast. It served as a mosaic of Chris' character. He was a man of the people...and the people loved him. That one person could touch so many different people was life affirming. We all felt better to have been together for that hour and a half. How lucky we are to have had Chris in our lives...now forever in our hearts. Keep smiling Chris.

Dear Mary, Maggie, Greg, Jim, Joe, and Jenny: What a sweet, gentle-spirit Chris brought to the world and to all who knew him. It's like a piece of all of our hearts is missing. He would do anything he could for anyone; so nonjudgmental and good. And I never met anyone who loved to work as much as Chris did! I'll miss his shy smile and unassuming shrug. I thank God for having known him and your whole family these many years. Your family's love and strength has always been an inspiration and I know your closeness will be a comfort to you through the time ahead.
Much love,
Judy Martin

I don't know much about God or the hereafter or if there is a better place when we leave this one. I do know that growing up on Leroy Street, and having the Lewis family as neighbors, was a pleasure and a treasure. I love the song Souvenirs by John Prine ..."Memories, they can't be bought-en, they can't be won at carnivals for free...." Indeed.

To Chris' family
It broke my heart to hear of his death. He was always there for me. When my oldest was born he guessed his hgt and wgt within a 1/2 ounce,and 1/2lb, and that he had a great name. The night my dad died, and my wedding, two good friends together. To know I'll never get another hug,kiss " howya doing honey" . Breaks my heart. My husband and I will never forget our friend. God Bless

It's so hard when someone so young is taken away from us. I'll never forget meeting Chris and Greg at St. Pat's because we had one thing in common, we were both twins. My sister Lynn and I had so much fun with the two of you. Although we went to Central and you went to SCC, we still were able to see each other out and remember all the good times. It was great to bump into Chris when my husband and I were down at Kinglsey's. I'd always smile thinking of all the fun we had. Much sympathy to Greg and the rest of his family! Cheryl Steveskey Pace

When I was a tenant many years ago, many times Chris came to fix things or check on things. I got to know him a bit then and he was always so kind to me and my son. He would often bring toy cars over for my son if he was coming that way. Prior, When I was a teen and again, a tenant living with my mother, I worked nights. Many times, Chris would meet me and walk me home to make sure I got there safely. He would always say, "Say hi to your mom for me". Having known the Lewis family for many years, I have to say that they are among the most caring, understanding and kind people I've ever known. Chris was no exception. He never complained, never slacked if we neeed something done, and always had a smile and conversation. As the years went by, I saw him now and then by chance and even though I was older than when he walked me home, and though I had changed in appearance and age, he never forgot my face. He always said hello to me, always asked about my son,always told me to say hello to my mother. Anyone who knew Chris was blessed to have had the pleasure of witnessing the sincerity in his smile and and the honesty in his laugh. Chris was a kind, good, gentle and caring man. My sympathy to the Lewis family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Chris,
I cannot begin to count all the people who are grieving your loss! You had so many family and friends who loved you so much. I will always treasure our many conversations where we would share many, many laughs. Though life threw many crosses your way I never once heard you complain...You were such a gentle and kind person to so many! To my dear Lewis cousins, please know that so many people have you in their prayers...I am confident that Chris is sharing in his great reward in Heaven.
Love,
Danny

My deepest sympathy to the entire Lewis family. I was shocked when I heard about Chris. So many great memories come flooding back to me like going to Grivas' and Cavanugh's with Chris after basketball and baseball practice at St. Patrick's, with later stops at the Pine Lounge as we got older.
I have not seen him since our 10th reunion from SCC but I can still hear his voice telling me to pass the basketball to him, and I can still hear his laugh after telling me a good joke. Chris had a hugh heart and I will always value his friendship. Please know that there are many prayers being said for the entire Lewis family.

Words can not express the shock and sadness that we feel in the loss of Louee.We will miss seeing him in the summer when we come home to visit. When I worked at Kingsly's bar he would stay and offer a helping hand and we would share in some intelligent conversation. Chris never caused a problem. He was always a great friend. Our hearts go out to Peggy,Jim and the rest of his family.

To The Lewis Family,My heart broke with sadness when I learned of Chris passing.We became good friends at St.Patricks Middle School in the sixth grade and remained so until present.Whether we were playing C.Y.O. basketball or just having a few laughs the kindness and sincerity showed by Chris never changed.We did not see each other as much due my me being out of town,but the SMILE, HANDSHAKE and HUG remained FIRM.

Dear Chrissy ( sorry,you'll ALWAYS be Chrissy to me),
Time flies but thank God the connections, love and loyalty have remained constant between our families.
Sharing a puzzle with you in Kindergarten, sharing twin fame at St. Thomas, holding hands in 6th grade (for a week), sitting around my parents' dining room table listening to Elton John with Tommy, Greg, Toe, Liz, Kris, Ann, Gail and Dee on Halloween 1975, seeing you through the years as we both grew up and had kids of our own...you have always been kind, warm and sincere. I will never forget you as you have taken a piece of my heart with you. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Love, Lulu

To my dearest family... some things I'd like to say... but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. I'm Writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above. Here, there's no tears of sadness; here is just eternal love. Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome You." It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on. I need you here badly, you're part of my plan. There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man. God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do. And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you. And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight. God and I are closest to you... in the middle of the night. When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years, because your only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain. I wish that I could tell you all that god has planned. But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand. But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er. I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before. There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb; but together we can do it by taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too... that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you. If you can help somebody who is sad and feeling low, just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go. When your walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind; I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind. And when it's time for you to go... from that body to be free, remember you're not going... you're coming here to me. Ruth Anne Mahaffey (author) Copyright 1998-2009 With deepest sympathy SLB
