He was a veteran, serving his country in the U.S. Navy during World War II and the Korean War, and was a survivor of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
He worked as a skilled mechanic during his career, and after retirement he spent his time running a flea market booth in Mechanicsville, enjoying the social life it brought him, well into his later years.

Lewis Jr. and Kenneth S. Lewis; and a number of nieces, nephews and brothers- and sisters-in-law, as well as many friends.
The family will receive friends Thursday, Sept. 9, from 6 to 7 p.m. at First Baptist Church of Richmond, located at Monument Avenue and Boulevard, with a memorial service at 7 p.m.
Flowers are welcome, but if preferred, please feel free to make a donation to a favorite charity or cause in his memory.
