Lewis worked for GM for an impressive 45.3 years! He enjoyed hunting, guns, gardening, dancing, football and going out to eat to try new foods and restaurants.
He loved his cars and never failed to take care of his and keep them looking good! He also enjoyed western shows, especially John Wayne movies. He was very opinionated on politics and the ever-changing world we lived in.
