My dad - Thomas Eugene Lewis - 1933-2017

My kind father, Thomas Eugene Lewis, passed away on 1 December 2017 in Pleasant View, Utah.  I wanted to include here the Obituary that appeared in the Ogden Standard-Examiner on Sunday, 3 December 2017 for the benefit of my kids and grandkids.  He was a kind and gracious man, and will be missed by us all.  I love you dad, and look forward to that glorious day when we'll all meet again.
I also found a few photos when I got home that I wanted to include here - these were photocopies of old photos with Grandma Uvada Lewis handwriting on them.  Not sure where the originals are......





The top one is my favorite!  Next is my mom pinning dad's 2nd LT bars on him at his commissioning at Utah State.  Next is dad in full band uniform with the clarinet we saw at the viewing!  Finally, the old jalopy dad won at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon "Jalopeny" in 1952.
