Sandy,
I just learned of Lew’s passing.  He was one of my first bosses and I will always be grateful to him (and Paul Diller) for taking a chance on a teenager looking for work back in the early ’70s.  Lew was a very special person.  My deepest condolences to you and your family. Connie Chesley Davis

I just found out about this. I’m so sorry to hear. I really liked Lew. Some years back a friend and I decided to ride the Black Rock Retreat bike ride which was 125 miles in one day. It was a little daunting, and the first hour or two were hills and fog. At one point this other cyclist came upon us, and we started talking. We ended up spending the entire day riding together. Lou made a fun day into a fantastic day. I will never forget that wonderful trip and Lew’s sense of humor and kindness and willingness to stay with two women who were obviously slower than he was. I should say, one woman who was! He taught us more about drafting and we ended up with a 15 -1/2 mile per hour average, better than we would’ve done alone. A year or two later I was asked to play flute for a chamber singers event, and Lew and I reconnected. What a great guy! I’m so sorry for your loss. Ceci Good

I remember Lew being very bright and having a very quick sense of humor. He was also kind to me when I was young and starting out. I saw his passing this evening and I had to reach out.  God bless you.

I was very sorry to read of Lew’s passing on the Lancaster Bicycle Club’s listserve. I’m not very active in the club any more so I hadn’t seen Lew in a couple years. But that does not lessen my sorrow. I hope you all are holding up well, knowing you have a caring circle of family and friends. Bill Hoffman

Lew was such a great guy with a wonderful sense of humor. I have no idea how many miles we rode together, I was with him on his first century, a long convoluted story. He will be missed

Sandy – My sincerest condolences to you and your family.  Lew was caring, had a genuine smile, was always ready to laugh and had a very kind heart.  We rode many miles together on club rides.  Lucky for me, Lew was also my SAG buddy for the Covered Bridge Metric Ride.  Lew knew the back roads by heart and we were able to transport riders back to ride start locations very quickly.  I appreciated my time with Lew & will miss him.
