I had the pleasure of knowing Lew for the last 10 years. We hunted together in Oklahoma and had so many great times there. I also spent time at his house meeting his family, watching nascar , cooking out and telling stories. He was a man with a BIG HEART, give ya the shirt off his back. He will be greatly missed and never forgotten. My thoughts and prayers to all his family members and friends. RIP SWEET LEW

Lew always reminded me of my dad. He was a gentle giant. So easy going and caring. He always was ready to feed us everytime we went to visit. So grateful for him loving my 2 grandchildren they took in. Will miss you Lew. See ya in heaven

I am beyond grateful to have known Lew, if you ever hung around Louisiana with him, everyone, including him was known as Bill. It was like saying hey pal (Bill) how ya doing. That stuck for years after I worked with him. Always gave him a “what ya say Bill?” and he would always reply “I don’t know Bill, what about you?”. There was only two things you would find him doing, hunting and fishing or fishing and hunting. It didn’t matter which one he was doing you were guaranteed to witness Lew cracking a joke on someone or something, my word he could get you rolling, sometimes over the simplest of things. To all that knew him knows that he was a good man, a great man! I’m forever thankful for the every experience I was able to share with him and those memories will last forever. Until we see each other again, keep a line wet for me. Love ya Bill! -Bill
