I was fortunate and very blessed to have Tim in my life. He had a heart of gold and love for his children, grandchildren, friends, and pets. He taught me so many things over the years that I will treasure for the rest of the days I have left. I am not scared to leave this world, because I will be reunited with the only man I have truly ever been in love with. I LOVE YOU BABY.
Dear Lewis Family,
We are so saddened to learn yet another member of your family has passed away. Timmy died much too young yet he left a lasting memory of strength for us all.
Take care and much love to all,
Eddie & Linda Ransom
My cousin Tim! I always looked up to Timmy, not just because he was taller, older, or I enveyed his toys & knowledge. He is a Lewis, and always helped make our family tree as great as it is. When things got tough, he still fought the battle! I’m proud to have had you as my cousin! Until we meet again, rest in peace!
Timmy was a big man with a soft voice and gentle laugh. In all the years I had known him, I had never heard him raise his voice. He was a loving and wonderful nephew. I will miss you so very much. Aunt Sandy
My thoughts & prayers are with the family!! One day, you will all be together again!!!

Bonnie and Susie and Scott French.
Rest in Peace Tim.
I had the pleasure of meeting Tim at N.Y.B. where we both worked. I talked to him everyday as he was quite funny. we stayed in touch after he became ill and left work. He was a good man,a good friend, and he loved his family. I will miss him.
I am trying to remember how it was that Tim and I became friends. It is terrible that I don’t remember. What I do remember is the great friendship we shared until I left the area. Tim was one of my closest friends when I lived there. I am very proud to say that Tim’s whole family was always warm, welcoming and fun. My mother respected and liked Tim very much also.
My condolences to Ruth,Vickie,Lori and Toot. He was one of the good guys.
Steve, Monica, Lisa, & Maria, I am so sorry for your loss. I will always remember Tim from the “Galena” days. He was a tough guy with a good heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
To the Family of Timothy,
I am so sad to read this news. Even though I was not a close friend of Tim’s, He sure made me feel like I was every time we would run into each other. I have known the Lewis family for many years, and these good hearted people sure don’t deserve the bad fate bestowed upon them. This day and age, we sure could use alot more like them. To me, Tim was just like his Dad, “Big Jim”, a very “Gentle Giant”. I have never seen Tim in a bad mood, and maybe that was a good thing. I have never heard a bad word about Him, sure seemed like everyone loved Him, and that sure has to be a good feeling for you to know. I hope that you find peace and comfort in the many great memories that you have of Tim, because I am sure there is many of them.
We’ll miss you neighbor.
Jim,Stacie and Family-
Sorry for your loss, our prayers go out to you and your family.
Monica and Steve,
your dad was a fighter! God rest his soul.
To the Lewis Family, ,deepest sympathy to Jim,Ruthie,Vicki,Lorie,think of you kids often. Rest in peace Tim.
Jim & Stacie,
Such sad news. Ours hearts and prayers go out to you and your family. Too much loss for such great people.

Sorry for your loss Monica and Steve
To Stephen, Monica, Ruthie, Vicki, Lori and Jim:
What a beautiful service for Tim. I have so many
childhood memories when all of us would be together
at Gram’s. There are no words to express how
sorry I am for your loss. May peace be with all of
You. He will be missed.
I was sad to hear of Tim’s passing away. I met time 35 years ago through a mutual friend, and would see him every so often over the years at New York Blower. Because of his great sense of humor, I always left with a smile on my face. Tim was a big bear of a man with a heart even bigger. I am sure everyone who knew him can relate to what I am saying here. He will be truly missed. My prayers are with his family and loved ones.
Sincerely,
Jim Boatwright
