Claudia and family,
I am so saddened by your loss. I had the pleasure and honor of working with Lewis at Fun-Tees, Inc. for about 15 years. I greatly admired Lewis's leadership and valued his friendship. Lewis will be missed, and I wish you and your family comfort at this difficult time.
Our deepest condolences,
Glenn and Donna Quintana -
Lewis was instrumental in my life when I struggled with my life choices. He allowed me to get the help I needed as an employee at Funtees and was one of those men that I respected. I know he will be missed. Blessings on your family.
