Joey "Joe" Charles Lewis Sr.

He was born January 12, 1947, in Mansfield, Ohio, to the late Carlie and Nellie (Hunt) Lewis. Joe was a veteran of the U.S. Army serving during the Vietnam War. He retired from General Motors after more than 30 years of service. Joe was a member of Shiloh Lodge #544 F. & A.M., Amvets Post #26 and the Liederkranz. He enjoyed fishing, golfing, bowling and cooking. Joe was a very friendly man who never met a stranger and most often called everyone "honey". He was a selfless, kind, man who epitomized the words "true gentleman". He most enjoyed spending time with his children and grandchildren, as well as his nieces and nephews that he loved dearly.
