Gary and family please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of your dad he truly was a wonderful man also a man of few words .
Gary and family,
Lew was one of life’s nicest people and those of us who lived in our part of Topsail were fortunate to have him, your mom and your family as neighbours. He was well respected and appreciated for the fine man he was. Though he led a long and wonderful life we know also that he will be missed greatly. Rest in peace, Lew.
Dean and Laura Williams.
Such a wonderful man. I loved mixing a drink for him evening’s at Admirals Coast and when we didn’t have his favorite, I would bring something “tropical”, which he always said “that’s different, but some good”, and we would laugh. My deep3st condolences to his family and thank you for giving me such treasured memories. God bless you.
Dearest Uncle Lew. Adored, admired and much loved. Memories to cherish and remember always. Hugs to all family who also will miss him dearly.
