Bobbi and Can, 
Your dad/husband was one of the sweetest and kindess person on earth.  
I only met him once in SA TX and liked him immediately.  
He was a very special help to those in need and did all he could to make life better when posible.
This is why he will be missed so dearly.  
God bless those who lost their loved ones and hopefuly we will all meet again in a better place.  Memories are precious, keep them close in your heart to fill the void.
In God's love, Al and Jan

To Miss Bobbi and Family,

Lew was one of a kind.  He taught me many, many of life's lessons and  he seemed to find the patience require.  Often I was not too quick on the uptake.  He will be missed and never replaced.

A very dear friend for over 40 years.  Lew was always someone very special to our whole family.  He was not only our friend, but our advisor, our mentor and our caretaker.  We've shared many laughs and many tears.  We miss you, Lew.

You will be truley missed Lew.  Thank you for all your genuine help and concern in making sure everyone strived to be their best!  Happy Trails.

My heartfelt sympathies for your loss. I will always remember Lew as "bigger than life." His personality and enthusiasm were unmatched wherever he went and I can't imagine anyone who met him ever forgot him. :)  We will all miss him very, very much.

Mr. Lew was a true American. His service to his country and family was a shining example for all to follow. Lew was always concerned for the welfare of others and made it a point to visit and chat with all of his employees. He cared. Thank you so much for all you have done for everyone.

Father...mentor...friend...Lew was all of them to me.  From the wisdom he shared when I had employee problems to the weekly Sunday afternoon phone calls he and my mom made to the "grandbabies", Dad was always there for me and my family.  Your love and support has made me the man, husband and father I am today.  You are the best!  The girls and I will miss you dearly.  You remain forever in our prayers.  God bless and keep you.

Words can not explain how wonderful of a person he was. He is the best grandfather that any grandchild could ever ask for. He has inspired so many people, especially me. Thank you to everyone who has kept my family in their thoughts and prayers. It is greatly appreciated. I will always love you Papa Lew! Love always,
Ashley (Lew's oldest granddaughter)

Words can not explain how awesome of a grandfather he was. He has inspired many lives, especially mine. Thank you to all who have thought about our family during this time. Your thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated. I will always love you Papa Lew,

" A great boss and better man.  We'll miss him coming to our office everyday asking how we were doing.  He didn't just say it to say it, he truly meant it.   We'll miss you, Mr. Lew!  Gary Ross (Munford, TN)

Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss…our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Praying for the family with a heavy heart.  God bless each of you.

Neither gone, nor forgotten; always present in the hearts and minds of those that knew him and to know him was to love him.  Lew was the epitome of a great-boss.  He emulated love, thoughtfulness, caring, support, concern, loyalty and dedication in his everyday walk.  We, the NAVMAC staff of CACI will miss him dearly; you can't find a better leader.  My fondest personal memory of Lew was watching him and his wife Bobbi dance at our Christmas parties, a beautiful sight to behold.  My condolences to the family, please know that we are here for you; our prayers go out for you continuously.  God bless and keep you.
