I thought of you today John. And the several times you came in my home. The time you anointed, and blessed my grandson is his crib. He was just an infant. And how you told my daughter that her son is very special. His 13 now and he carry’s his uncle Bible and reads is a lot. He never knew his uncle. His uncle passed before he was born. I gave my grandson my brothers Bible recently. Because he’s a strong believer in Jesus. I haven’t told my grandson about you John. But tomorrow I am going to. I still have the hand held wooden cross you gave me. Your always in my heart ❤️ and soul. I will pass the cross onto my grandson. He will cherish as well as I have all these years. I miss you John one day I will see you again. 

still miss you...but some day soooon..we will see ea other again..

He came into my work often, and eventually knew me by name. He would tell me he loved my name, and that I was beautiful. After having met him, I always made it a point to wave to him when we passed him on the street. The nicest man you could ever meet, if you took the time to get to know him! He will be missed!

 I first met John when I moved to Waterville at St Francis cemetery walking my dogs. I admit I was a bit cautious of him at first, but soon found him enduring. So sad to hear of his passing.

I was heart broken when I heard the news. Although we never met he will always be remembered has the the man who always made me smile. His presence will be missed deeply..God bless you John.

You enriched our lives and were a true spiritual asset to Waterville.  Your memory is with us. Now, all the mysteries of the universe are known to you. We will miss you.

May the Lord Bless him, May he walk with the "Waving Man" of Waterville, Maine. May they both be looking down on all of us!We will always remember John.A.K.A. Cross Man. He had blessed everyone and anything no matter who he met or where he went. I'm thankful not only to have seen him walking around the city as Ihad drove by, but I had got to speak to him a few times while I had gone to various stores with in the city.I may have not remembered his name, but knew his face, and his famous crosses he carried with him. May he be one of our Guardian angels sent to us from Heaven if we should ever are in need of one.

John, you blessed us on earth and now you are blessing the angels in Heaven! We'll miss you soooooo much....Lin & family

We will miss you and your joyfulness. Rest in peace.

John will be missed by many, It wil  be sa to drive in Waterville and not see him May he rest in the arms of our Lord. Thank you John for your love of all during your time on earth.

John, what can I say? You were one of a kind. Someone that we always thought would be around forever...God Bless you for your kindliness that you shared with others and may we all learn something from you , our friend..

John you will be missed by many. I'll miss seeing you around town. you have prayed for so many, and now I'm sure you are in the lord arms. Your job is done now you can rest in peace my friend.

I'm not sure how long I've known John Lewis, but I just found out that he went to Heaven and I already miss his smiling face. John would come to the Yardgoods Center and he'd oder wooden crosses of all sizes to paint in variouscolors.
He always had a smile and we told each other we'd pray for everyone who needed a prayer. He always had time to listen and give you a blessing with his cross. As I entered the Blessed Sacrament daily, I usually crossed paths with John as he held his cross high in the sky toward the cross on the Chapel's Steeple VENITE ADORAMUS.
John, you spread the Word of God on a Daily basis to all you met.
We'll miss you, Joyce Vlodek Atkins & Scott Atkins

You lifted my spirits every time I saw you. You were a blessing to mankind.  I miss you already.I am sure you are watching over us, and asking for blessings for all of us from your new home.

I have been living up on this area since 99 and remember seeing this man every time I went into Waterville walking and waving his cross.I thought he was such a kind and good man and he would always bring a smile to my face.I would always wave to him as he would bless Waterville or around him.Now I know your name ..John may you celebrate now you are truley home..You will be missed.

John will be missed by many in the Waterville area.  I truly believe our community was blessed over and over by this man.  I also feel that by his blessings he saved my boy's life and that of his friends when their canoe tipped over in the Kennebec.  He was on the bridge and was waving that cross as fast as he could!  My son went running up to him after and thanked him - he said, "Don't thank me, run home and thank the Lord."  God Bless him - he is now home.

He was a kind soul.   He always made me smile in contentment when I saw him on the streets blessing everything.   he was a gentleman and I will miss seeing him take care of our community.

Well the streets of Waterville will be much sadder now

i just heard about johns homegoing...i lived in maine for about 8 yrs....met john once...at a shop i worked at...in waterville..but saw him always on the streets blessing everything and everyone............you will be missed by many..but because of your faithfullness...many will see you again....

I will miss seeing John on the street with his cross. RIP

RIP John....I can remember when I met John, years ago...what a genuine Christian man....never a harsh word....he loved his mom and spoke of her daily, he loved his community and he loved God and always carried his cross and blessed everyone he came in contact with....and every car that passed him. I offered him a ride home from the market one day, and he shared that he had a mission to bless the people on his walk home. Amazing example of a life lived with the right intent with a soft heart. John will be missed by many, many people. God Bless you my friend.

Uncle John will be dearly missed. He touched the lives of those he met with his warmth, compassion and generosity. He embodied the change he wanted to see in the world with his faith and love of people. I will never forget our times together. I know my uncle would be deeply touched by the outpouring of kind words and blessings. I take comfort in knowing he is at peace.


 John, you are finally where you want to be, with the Lord you so unselfishly served on this earth.
We have known you since grade school and have never known a man to give so much of himself to help others.
Rest in peace dear friend. We will miss you.
Reggie and Sue Hallee

John you were a light in the world. We thank God for your presence on earth. Rest In Peace!  With Love

John's light continues to shine through the streets of Waterville. We may not see him, but our memories of John's love and blessings will carry us through. Love one another everyday.

I will miss seeing you when I come up to Maine in the summers John! I am glad to have known you!

You will be greatly missed in Waterville, John. Thank you for being a faithful servant of our Lord Jesus Christ.

John you were a faithful worker in God's 
world, now you have been elevated to a
higher calling by becoming one of God's
angels in Heaven, Well done good and
faithful servant.  RIP, we who remain behind will always remember your devotion to the Lord, God speed until we meet again.

I would suggest flying a flag at half staff for this man.

Waterville, Maine is a better place because he was here.

May he rest in eternal peace.

God Bless you, John, and thank you for introducing yourself to me the very first time we met. That was at the Waterville Kmart many years ago. You immediately intrigued me with your love of God, of mankind and your love of family. We had a lot of talks since that first meeting, and I loved learning about you and your family and how happy a person you really were. You were so kind to everyone and did a good deed for the City of Waterville. You surely brightened my day when I passed you going to and from work, waving your cross and smiling. I loved to slow down, open my window and wave and toot my horn to you just to let you know that I was happy to see you. You made me feel joy and blessed for what I had, even if I had just gotten out of work and things didn't go so well. You made a lot of people feel better, whether you knew that or not. I will miss you when I go to Waterville, John. Thank you for what you gave me. Thank you.............

I did not know John, but my children and I frequently saw him. His blessings touched me each time I passed him. He will be missed.

John you will be missed by so many giving us all the Lords blessings as we passed you on the streets of town. RIP John you are with the Lord now, celebrate your new life.

I always enjoyed seeing John walking the streets of Waterville, or shopping in one of the local stores taking time to smile and converse with the people he met. God must have needed someone very special. Bless you John as you blessed all you met, if they knew your name or not.

Sweet sweet John...you will be missed here on earth but I know you are dancing in heaven in the presence of our Lord.  He must have greeted you at the gate saying, "Job well done my good and faithful servant".  May God give your family peace in knowing you are in a wonderful place.

We will miss seeing him around town giving all of us his blessings. May he rest in peace now, and our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

I did not "know" John, but he touched my life.

PRAISE JESUS...JOHN'S JOURNEY HAS TAKEN HIM HOME!!!

Whenever we drove by John, we always gave a toot and a wave, knowing he was probably sending up prayers for us and those in his daily path through town. Waterville will miss John dearly.  What a blessing he was to us all.

Although I didn't know him, he ALWAYS made me smile when I saw him!  He will Definately be missed.

So sorry to hear of Johns passing. I never knew him personally but always waved to him when he was out giving a blessing to people in the Waterville area. Whenever I saw him, I always felt a sense of calm & comfort. I will miss seeing him. R.I.P. John.

You will be missed. Thank you for all the blessings.

Will miss you John. You were such a kind soul and now your an angel watching over us..RIP my friend

May God reach out and bring peace and comfort to John's family. Will miss seeing him at Goodwill and chatting about God.  Will also miss seeing him walking and being able to wave or toot the horn to him. He is now joyfully walking in the Lords presents.

Will miss seeing you John.I always felt a little safer when you gave me a blessing as i drove by.

John, Waterville will never be the same not seeing you every day.

The city now has an angel watching over it.

I Hope You Meet My "Only Daughter Janel"  When You Arrive Home... I Know You Will "Love One Another."
I am so SAD "Selfishly" because I didn't want YOU To Leave "Physically"  and At The Same Time,  I am So GLAD For You JOHN, Knowing You Are "Home With "Our LORD and SAVIOR."  Til We Meet Again in Paradise  "Please Know You Will Be Missed by Many."  With LOVE Forever & A Day, JoyceAnn

His inspiration, devotion and love to mankind are lessons to us all. He will be greatly missed and fondly remembered.

John, I will miss seeing you all over Waterville and receiving your blessings. You were a kind soul who believed everyone, regardless of who they were (race, sex, etc.), deserved to be blessed & loved. The world would be a better place if everyone took the time to just smile and acknowledge someone every day as you did. Rest in peace.

May God Bless you John as you have blessed so many of us. Rest in peace.

I'm saddened to hear of Mr. Lewis's passing.  I never knew his name, and it is through his obituary that I discovered I know his sister and niece.  I will miss seeing him blessing everyone and everything in Waterville.  His kindness & love for God were gentle reminders of the important things. While working on the ambulance, he would always stop what he was doing and bless our trucks as we went by, whether we were headed to a call or not.  It was always appreciated.  May you rest in peace in your beautiful kingdom with the Lord.

John thank you for allowing me to be part of your life and taking a walk with you it was awesome and sharing Gods word with me as well.

I will miss seeing John everyday on my lunch hour, on the little bridge by CVS, giving me my little blessing as I drove by, But I know you are in a much better place now, Still waving your cross.

A man of God, devoted to his Lord like few I've seen, unafraid to proclaim his Truths, John was an amazing witness for "the Three in One"  a kind, humble servant  enjoy fellowship with the One you ALWAYS put first...

You were such a huge inspiration to me. I absolutely loved seeing you on the days you stopped by Inland. I always tried to time it so that I was the one who got to visit with you in my office. We had some wonderful conversations. I will truly miss you and your wonderful smile. Look up my dad when you get there. I think you two would be great friends. I now know I have two guardian angels watching over me. I will miss you.

Well john your home now,rest in peace pops ,love tony and jolene
