After Mother and Daddy died Lews' home became my home and base when ever I had the need to go back to Kansas City. It was impossible not to admire the courage and strength he possessed. Though pain and struggle were his constant companions he never complained. I Love you brother dear for ever.

After Mother and Daddy died Lew's home became my home whenever I needed to return to Kansas City. They where always the perfect hosts. It was impossible not to admire how he managed to live without complaint. I will miss the arguments. God Bless, Lois

Dad, thank you for always being there. You taught me many things in life and I will always cherish the special times we had together. You always gave me good advice and as I grew older I gained much more respect for you realizing all of the obstacles in life you had to overcome and admired the strength and courage it took. You will always be my hero dad. Love and miss you forever, Debra

I knew Lewis as a child and the one picture of him with the dog was taken at my parents home. Sorry that I did not know you when we grew up and were adults.
God Bless, Your cousin,

Hearing the sad news of Lewie’s death triggered a flood of wonderful memories from Blue Rapids high school days when our senses of satire were warped by “The usual gang of idiots” at MAD Comics and our senses of adventure were enhanced by exploring, camping, and river rafting. What terrific times; what fantastic memories. Thanks! Lewie was the best ever! I’ll never forget you and them.

Lewis had a most wry sense of humor. It is safe to say that all enjoyed Lewis and his witticisms. Rest in pease my friend.

In 1956 Dad(Lewis) was in Marine boot camp and was stationed at Camp Peddleton, California. His best friend from back home, Don Osborne was in Navy boot camp(I am assuming according to his uniform) and stationed in San Diego, California. Dad went over to visit him on the base.
