A Tribute to a Great Man



Once in a lifetime you meet someone who changes your life for the better. That was Lewis. We met at church one Sunday and I liked him immediately. He was kind and compassionate and I grew to admire him greatly. He was truly a great man and my hero.



Soon we were teaching the adult church school class on the Bible. Lewis was very knowledgeable on the scriptures and he became my friend and mentor. We studied together, broke bread together, and even learned a few things together. I know that I learned a lot from him, anyway.



Lewis was a good steward of his time and resources. He taught me the value of caring for others the way Jesus cared for everyone. There was never any prejudice or pride or deceitfulness. He was honest and completely trustworthy.



When I became a financial advisor, I looked up to him for guidance, and he was soon my best client. I trusted him and he trusted me. We always knew we could count on each other whenever the need arose.



I miss Lewis. He has gone to heaven to be with the Lord now, and I know he is looking down from his new home and keeping an eye on me. I can feel his presence even now. My life is much richer and more meaningful just because Lewis was my friend. Truly, he was a great man.
