Lewis was a great dad, pawpaw, and great-pawpaw. He loved to garden, hunt, and fish - but more importantly he loved to spend time with his family. Lewis was a very humble man who worked hard his whole life. He loved his church and had a smile that would light up the room.

The family would like to express their appreciation for the loving care provided by hospice nurse Caroline Williams and his neighbors on Hurley Road.
