Delores and Lewis, 
I felt this Angel tough me today, it was Lew.  Many memories and conversations that we had shared came swarming around me, as bees swarm around honey. Lew was such a great business and personal friend for 17+ years, I only wished I would have had the opportunity to have seen him one last time.  Our comfort is in knowing we all have a guardian Angel Lew and he is in a much better place! 

My love and comfort to you both.

Dolores and family,
Our sincere sympathy in the passing of Lewis.  He was a great inspiration to all of us in the Murphy Class of 1959. I'm glad he was able to make our last reunion. He always seemed so positive.  He will be missed.

Lewis was a dear friend, and I have many good memories from 60 plus years ago. I will miss our jitterbug dance at each reunion. Deloris, I just heard of his death and my heart aches for you. He was very lucky when he met you, and my prayers are with you and your family.

At the last Murphy High School reunion, Lewis sought me out from way across the huge room..... We had memories of both Jr High and Senior High School.  We discussed his medical condition and impressed me with his spirit and warm personality.  What a great asset he must have been to his family and many friends.  He will be missed.

Just learned of Lewis' passing.  I remember him fondly.  We met on the first day of the first grade and went to school together thru graduation at Murphy.  He was one of the nicest guys I ever met; and, I know he had a positive impact on all those who knew him and on many who did not.  We have lost a true friend and a great American.  May God grant Solace to you all. family an friends; and, we all will remember him for who he was and for his impact on our lives.

We met Lew through MACAG almost 3 years ago.  Lew was wonderfully supportive and helped us (Margo) a great deal as a result of his knowledge from his long battle with neuroendocrine tumors.

And Dolores, you were equally supportive...always in the background of the telephone calls making sure Lew didn't stumble on his words and memory.  Us husbands secretly appreciate that.

We and the others at MACAG will deeply miss him.  He will always have a place in our hearts.

Big Lew touch so many over the years. His gentle manor and booming voice will be missed in this world. There will be a new star shining if the heavens tonight

Lew was such a kind and wonderful man.  I am so sorry that I cannot make the funeral.  He will be missed.  You will all be in my thoughts and prayers.

Mrs. Delores my deepest sympathies and condolences go out to you and your family. The world has experienced a great loss. Lew was a kind and generous man who has done so much for so many. He will truly be missed... MACAG will not be the same without him.

SO SAD  TO HEAR ABOUT LEW PASSING HE WAS A FIGHTER

We are so much better for having known Lew.  Always a smile and kind word.  We will always give a big "Rise Up" for him on Sundays. Delores we wish you and your family all the blessings and peace.

Delores, what a successful and admirable life Lew lived. He will be missed at the MACAG MEETINGS. I wish I had known him earlier. Bless you and your beautiful family.

You meet Lew for the first time, but you feel like you have known him forever.  Charming, endearing and just a nice guy. And once you have know Lew for many years, personally or professionally, you realize what a strong person he his.  Those are the memories I will keep, and I will think of "Big Lew" often.

Lee was a good friend as well as a business associate. He was good to work with and a valuable resource for all that worked with. We will all miss him.

Delores and Lewis, I am saddened to hear that Lew has succumbed to his illness after so many years of valiant struggle.  My prayers are with you and the rest of your family at this time of loss.  - Del Powell

I had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Marshall in business.  He always impressed me as a professional and a quality human being.  May he rest in peace.

Dolores and family, I pray that God will give you his peace that surpasses all understanding during this difficult time.

In my 36 year career I have accumulated a small list of Hall of Fame type characters and personalities that hold a special place in my memory and heart. Lew is among them!  Dolores and Lewis (and Keith) I send you my most heartfelt condolences for your loss, as well as deep appreciation and celebration for the life of Lew.

Lew is my hero in the battle against cancer. Lew will long live in my memory as an optimistic and friendly warrior who was willing to give of himself to help others....I know, because I benefitted from every encounter Lew and Delores and I had at the doctor's office, and on the phone.
My thoughts and prayers are for Delores, who was an amazing caretaker for all those years.

So sorry for your loss - Mr. Marshall  was a kind spirit and a true southern gentleman - we will miss him.  
Sincerely - Libby Hammock

Dear Dolores, Lewis and family: I am so sorry to hear of Lew's passing. He was a mentor of sorts to me and I appreciated his advice and candor so much over the years. Lew was absolutely one of the hardest workers I ever met in my 33 year insurance career and I considered him a dear friend. Please know that you and your family are in our prayers. Sincerely, John Lee

Lewis, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Your dad was a great man. I valued and enjoyed his friendship both on a personal and business level. Although he will be missed, his memory will burn bright through his legacy.

Please accept my sincere sympathies.  Lew was always a pleasure to talk to, either on the phone or when he would stop by my office.  I will keep all of you in my prayers.

I am very grateful for having known Lew, he helped me write a lot of insurance and as a result, we became good friends. He was really committed to helping his agents write insurance and did a lot for me personally. I will miss Lew and pray that God will comfort and strengthen his family. God Bless you Lew! Thanks for all your advice and for your friendship.

RIP Lew.  You fought a good battle for many years and I know you will be sorely missed.  Dolores, Lewis and Keith I truly enjoyed our working relationship.  Prayers and condolences for this sad time in your lives.

In my 36 year professional career I have accumulated a small list of Hall of Fame sized characters and personalities that hold a very special place in my memories and heart.  Lew was one such person to me.  To Dolores and Lewis (and Keith), I send you my most heartfelt condolences, as well as warm wishes of thanksgiving and celebration for the life and gift of Lew.

"World Headquarters" is now on a "forever" cruise with Lew back at the controls again. He has been a good friend, and fellow Rotarian for many years. He always made the day a little brighter with a great smile, a good sense of humor, and a story, or two, to share. We will miss him. He made the world a better place!

Dolores and Lewis---just wanted you to know how deeply sorry I was to hear about Lew.  You are in my thoughts and prayers!

 Deeply saddened to read of Lew's passing! He was a great inspiration to me & helped me navigate the waters of neuroendocrine cancer. I'm very sorry that I cannot attend the service. I'm at Moffitt Cancer Ctr in Tampa getting new scans- lifting up prAyers for Delores and family- Becky

From one Zebra family member to another:  May the work Lew did speak for him.  He fought a good fight, and he finished his course. Peace be unto you Delores and family.

Lew was a fighter and never gave up, which is probably why he was able to battle his cancer for 15 years. Desite the cancer, he always was optimistic. Further, he remained charming and a "Southern gentleman" until the end. However, the most important measure of a man are his children. I have been fortunate enough to know his son Lewis, who shares many of his father's traits and who is a loving and kind father. So, Lew, ya done did good.

Dolores ... You and Lou have given so much to make the world a better place. He leaves a rich legacy of what one passionate person can do to make a difference.  Please remember that you are surrounded by tons of love and prayers.... John and Judy Wolfe

There is a special place in our hearts for memories, Lew left me with many that easily bring a smile.

Gonna miss you Big Lew, never a time I saw you without a smile and a story to tell.

Lew had a great sense of humor and was very passionate about making the world a better place.  We were fortunate to have known Lew these past 20 years.  Lynn & Don Isenburg

Lew was a grand champion of fight. I enjoyed his candor and infectious smile. 
My sincere condolences to ALL the family. 

I know he is the most beautiful place and in complete comfort.
Hugs,
Cathy Murray
