Lew will be greatly missed by a host of friends, especially Jeff, David and Jack and also his fur babies, Panther, Midnight, Callie, Prissy, Streak and Talker.
A gathering of family and friends will be from 1:00-3:00 p.m. Monday, September 4, at Curry Funeral Home in Alum Creek.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations be made to the Kanawha Charleston Humane Association, 1248 Greenbrier St., Charleston, WV 25311.
Marietta, I am so sorry for your loss. I never knew Lew, but he had to be special for you to marry him. Prayers that you and the rest of his family are healing over your loss. Love you!

Very good friend of our family when we were growing up.. He has always been a best friend of my brother George Meadows. We all have good memories of him..
LB (Lewis) was always a good friend to our family–we had lots of fun growing up- My condolences to your family- God Bless!
I always called him LB because that was how he introduced himself to me in 1959 when I moved to Loudendale. We have kept in touch all these years and I will surely miss him! Adios amigo!
