I worked for Lewis and Frances at the Pleasant Valley Restaurant along with my Mom Dorothy Henry. They were wonderful employers and friends!!! Lewis always had a smile on his face and was eager for the next adventure whether it be raising coon dogs, riding his horse in the local parade or training his trick pony. You never knew what Lewis might have up his sleeve. Mom sure will be happy to see him in heaven but he left behind a lot of people that will never forget him. He was one in a million!
