Barry Lewis Obituary

DEAR ANNE

I JUST RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT DR LEWIS PASSED AWAY. HE WAS AN EXCEPTIONAL DOCTOR AND PERSON. HE NEVER BELITTLED OR LECTURED HIS PATIENTS. I FIRST MET HIM AT WEST SUBURBAN HOSPITAL MANY YEARS AGO

AND THEN SAW HIM OUT AT ELMHURST.

I AM SURE HE IS UP IN HEAVEN NOW

TAKING CARE OF OTHERS NOW.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ALWAYS.

Dear Anne, Jason & Jessica,

I was shocked to hear of Dr. Lewis' passing. He was such an incredible man!!!! I am sure you have heard from everyone how your husband and father touched the lives of those he carde for, but I must tell you both my husband and son would not be here with out his care. He touched my family in such a special way and I just wanted you to know he is in our hearts as a hero and you are in our prayers for the Lords grace and blessings. Your husband and father enriched innumerable lives for which you can be proud and carry that knowledge as a slight comfort to all of you. God Bless you all.

My deepest sympathy to you, Anne, and your family. Barry was an excellent doctor and for that I am most grateful. May God bless you and give you peace in this time of sorrow.

Our family would like to express our deepest sympathies to Anne, Jason and Jessica. We would like to extend our sympathy to all other family members of Barry as well. We wish that we could be of some comfort to each of you during this most difficult time.Our thoughts and prayers remain with all of you.



Barry was the ultimate Doctor of all times. He was humorous, personable, extemely talented and most professional. I am convinced that he was blessed with the natural ability to diagnose(even before the test confirmed the medical condition).



I had often wished that there was a way that I could return the gifts of caring and compassion, that he provided for our two pediatric daughters, my husband and I.



He will be greatly missed by an enormous number of individuals whose paths he crossed throughout the years.Our fondest memories of a great man and a great Doctor will live forever in our hearts.



We lend our empathy, our support and our prayers to each of you.



Most Sincerely,

Teri, Gary, Heather & Kristy Fash

Barry was not only a great doctor but he was a great guy too. I was a patient of his for well over 20 years. I always enjoyed our conversations about music, guitars and life in general. He was very wise and humorous plus he took good care of me and my family. I've missed our conversations since he retired and regret that we didn't get that opportunity to make some musical noise together. One of my favorite stories was when he showed up at an open mic at the now defunct Chocolate Moon coffee house for a song or two but ended up playing the rest of the night and how the "kids" totally dug all the "old" songs he played. A perfect illustration of one of the messages he constantly reinforced to me about life, career, what's really important and keeping things in perspective. He will me missed by me as well as many others. Heaven's house band just got better. Rock on Barry!

Our deepest sympathies to Barry's family. He saved Judy's life in 1980 after a ruptured gall bladder. Jason wore a little blue sweater I knitted. We will always remember Dr. Lewis with the fondest of memories.

I was a pediatric patient of Dr.Lewis many, many years ago. I was shocked to read of his passing, and would like to extend my deepest sympathy to his family.

My deepest sympathy and prayers. May you feel the power of God's love to give you comfort and peace.

Our deepest sympathy to the Lewis family at this sad and difficult time. Barry was one of a kind, a very, very, very special doctor that gave of himself to help others. We have fond memories of Barry and he will be GREATLY missed.



With all our love,
