We are very sorry to hear of Lew's passing and wish to extend our heartfelt sympathy to Lew's entire family. We are also sorry we did not hear about this until it was too late to attend the services. Lew was a terrific guy, and altough we had lost touch with him, after working with him many years, he was frequently in our thoughts and his name was usually included when we would talk about the "good times". He will be missed by all.
