Mrs. Lew,
I was stunned to hear the news, Lew was a great man and I loved him! I enjoyed working with him in Attica and the Federal Jail. He was friendly, caring and a hard worker. But most of all he was a great friend, family man and person. He will be sorely missed by all of my family as well. God bless all of you and I know Lew will be in heaven, probably at the front gates knowing him!
