I remember Lewis from the neighborhood growing up. Back years ago, first through twelfth grade rode the bus together and I remember Lewis always had a smile on his face. I think that I was about nine or ten back then and Lewis was about sixteen or seventeen and us younger kids looked up to him. I remember him also from his parents service station, he would be working after school and was always pleasant and polite with his customers. I remember when Lewis joined the Army, we were excited for him and concerned because of the Vietnam War.
Lewis was an all around good guy, the kind that you would be proud if your sister were dating him.
