Lewis loved to play golf and kept a standing breakfast date with the members of his foursome long after he gave up his clubs. A bowler on N&W teams in his younger years, he was elected to the executive committee and the Hall of Fame of both the Roanoke Bowling Association and the Virginia State Bowling Association. Lewis was an avid recycler and was proud to have donated 19 gallons of blood to the Red Cross in his lifetime. At age 80, he wrote his autobiography, "My Life So Far," for his daughters.
He is now reunited with Dorothy Tate Creasy, to whom he was married for 60 years; as well as his parents; three brothers; and three sisters.
Surviving him are two daughters, Cynthia B. Creasy and her husband, Edward J. Spyhalski, of Richmond, and Anne Creasy Dail and her husband, Lieutenant General (retired) Robert T. Dail, of Leesburg; three granddaughters, Amy Rebecca Dail, of Chesapeake, and Elizabeth Tate Dail and Katherine Cherry Dail, of Leesburg; as well as a number of nieces and nephews.

Donna Hopkins Britt will officiate at a funeral service 11 a.m. on Friday, November 13, 2009, at Calvary Baptist Church, 608 Campbell Ave., SW, Roanoke, Va. 24016.
