He loved golfing, boating, music, bowling, and spending special trips with his family.
Lewis enjoyed spending time admiring classic cars.

He loved to socialize, could liven up any party, and occasionally loved his Bud Light.

Lewis was a very caring, dependable and dedicated to helping his friends and family, regardless of the circumstance he never turned his back.

He truly loved life and made a special effort to make sure everyone's life was incredible.

Lewis was inspiring and his life was a good example of how others should treat one another.
