Dean , Jackie, and Rhonda – when I think of your Dad all I think of is laughing and being entertained by your father. He had such a gift to make people feel welcome and happy. He will be missed by I am sure everyone that ever had contact with Lew. Barb sends her best wishes. Our prayers are with you all.
A hail fellow well met. Lew was always fun to be around. We need more like him. I remember one day we walked a few miles hunting grouse in Jefferson County. Lew would beg to differ and say we ran!
Jackie, Dean, Rhonda and families,
I’m so very sorry to hear about your Dads passing. He was a great guy, I enjoyed the many hours of conversation we had over the years while I styled your Moms hair. He had wonderful stories to tell and always with great humor.
He will be sorely missed by those who knew him. His love for his family was always so very evident, you all meant the world to him. I loved both of your parents and it was a privilege to count them as my friends as well as all of you.
Praying Gods blessing and comfort.
Shelly and Bob Holland
Jackie,Dean,Rhonda. We want to send our deepest sympathy. Your dad was such a funny man. We loved visiting with both your parents. He always called us the Wolverton Mountain gang. After losing my dad it was great still hearing the same stories from your dad. Sending you all much love and support.
