Lewis was my next door neighbor and we became good friends, but lost touch when he moved away. Lewis made me laugh and feel good. He loved his little girls and he loved to have a good time. I will remember him as he was - funny, friendly, and a good person. Rest in peace my friend.

Lewis~ I'll never forget the day we met...the first time our eyes met and we knew what our futures held. I'll never forget our first ride together where this picture of you and Lucille was taken. I'll never forget when you asked me to marry you how you promised I would be your Queen. I'll never forget how you treated me like your Queen. Although our time together was way too short we lived a lifetime together. We had something so special...so unique...so pure that it scared us both at times. Life was so hard on you and you never deserved any of it yet you didn't let it change who you were. You were the most loving, giving and compassionate man. I miss you so much and there isn't a second that goes by that you aren't in my thoughts or in my heart. I carry you with me now and always. I love you with all of my heart and soul Lewis. I miss you so very much. Thank you for being such a good husband.
Kristin and Zion, You are not alone, may your memories and your faith bring you strentgh and comfort.
Although our time together was limited Lewis, you treated me with the love and kindness of a million years. Even the first time we met, I knew you were a blessing in my life. You are so greatly missed Screwy Lewi, but will continue to live on in our memory and our hearts.
It's been a lot of years and I still think of Lewis.
We rode a lot of miles together.
I love you brother
