Ernest Edward Lewis, Jr., surrounded by loved ones, died at home in Wilmington, NC, and peacefully went to be with the Lord on Easter morning, April 4, 2021. Ernie was 85 years old.

Ernie served in the Navy, graduated from Penn State with a degree in Business Administration and then went to work for the General Accounting Office in D.C. as an Accountant/Auditor.
