I remember Uncle Lew when I was about 7 years old and he was 14 or so and we were playing catch with a regulation baseball. He told me to throw it to him as hard as I could and he would catch the ball with his bare hands. I wound up and chucked it with all my might and he grabbed it bare-handed and let out a big laugh and asked if that was all I had! I thought he was Superman. You know what? I still do...
Rest in Blessed Peace Uncle Lew.

Lew and I were best friends right from the beginning, when we lived two doors apart on Hoffman Street. So many happy memories of growing up together, playing cops and robbers, cowboys and Indians, messing about in Hoffman Creek, walking to George Washington School together. Here is a photo I took of him at age 11 - a skinny, red-haired boy, always good fun to be with and a loyal friend. Our paths diverged as we met life in different ways, but he and Joan did visit Jennie and me in England later on. I'm so sorry to hear of his death: his family and friends have lost someone whose good humor and kindness lightened their world and made it a better place.

Uncle Lew has always been the most fun. He always made his nieces and nephews feel so welcomed when we descended in great numbers on his family. He is now in heaven with Joan, Glenn, Gertrude, Dick, and the many others whose lives he touched so sweetly. Uncle Lew will always remain in my thoughts and prayer. Love to all the Poppletons.
