    Paul and I are so sorry to hear of Lewis’ passing. He regularly visited our home and we so enjoyed gifts from the garden his stories and sense of humour. We spent much time with Lewis and Edith treasuring their wisdom, stories about their families and lives well lived. Above all we are grateful to have known Lewis and his bride.

  2. Jim, Duncan and family,
    I’m truly sorry for your loss. I’m glad I was able to be a pain in Louie’s neck for the time he was one of my residents at Fiddicks. He always had a smile and a joke for me, even when he knew I could see through what he was trying to hide. I will miss this man. Please accept my condolences and know that he has a special place in my heart.
