Lewis was employed by Taylor Winery for many years until its closing. He then worked for Frey & Campbell before becoming self-employed until his retirement.

If he couldn’t fix it, no one was going to be able to, and he loved sharing his knowledge on how to do it with whomever he could.

Lew was also an avid hunter, loved to fish, play golf and in his younger days loved to play softball.
