I did not know him, but like many others enjoyed his posts! Rest In Peace Sir, you did your time in hell!
I've never seen a picture of him. He was the older guy who, until the last year or so, spent a lot of time hanging out in the Barnes Range house with a few rifles (usually Garands) for sale. He was fairly slim, clean shaven and (as far as I knew) always wore a hat. I'd run into him at the Howard County Gun show a few times too.
If you ever talked to him, he always spoke highly of Tyler Firearms, so it is indeed fitting that they posted this thread.
RIP Lew
Lew was the one who introduced me to Chuck at Tylers. Great people, both of them.

That was him? Didn't realize I'd met him before.

The M1 Does My Talking
No man is an island entire of itself; every man
is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;
if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe
is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as
well as any Manor of thy friends or of thine
own were; any man's death diminishes me,
because I am involved in mankind.
And therefore never send to know for whom
the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
------ John Donne
Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,
Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.
Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,
And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well
And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then?
One short sleep past, we wake eternally
And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.
--------John Donne again

I bought my first Garand from Lew a couple of years ago. Met him for the transaction at AGC and he let me take it for a spin before buying. Went over basic disassembly and cleaning with me and gave some grease for it. It starting snowing and we both got stuck in traffic driving back home.
RIP Lew

RIP Lew. He may have been "crochety" but I asked a few questions about buying a garand and he gave me a book of info. I almost bought one from him after meeting him on here and then at the HoCo gun show, but I didn't pull the trigger. he gave me his card and told me to call him anytime. May the good lord treat you well Lew.
