Lit a candle in memory of Richard A. Lewis

I am very sorry for your loss. It was a true pleasure to work with Rick at the FAA. He was rarely seen without a smile on his face and was genuinely nice to everyone.

My deepest condolences for your loss. I worked with Rick and have known him for many years. He was really a good guy, always kind and decent. I know that he was highly respected and will be missed dearly.

Rick was truly one of the good guys. May you find comfort in the fact that he touched so many lives with his positive outlook and good humor. He will be missed greatly.

To the family: I am so sorry for the loss of Rick. When I became a supervisor in the System Requirements group, Rick was the FAA manager and from that time on, he was truly a great man to encounter. Always had a smile on his face and such a joy to be around. He will be missed tremendously. My prayers are with you and family. God bless.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

So sorry for your loss. I worked with and for Rick over the years in Oceanic and remember him as such a good guy - easy-going and a pleasure to know and work with. He will be terribly missed. My prayers are with all his loved ones.

Rick was my cousin, though I had not seen him for quite a few years.What was impressed on me was his mild manner and his careful and thoughtful disposition.I remember him in his straw hat pouring thoughtfully over town planning in my grandparents small town of Angelica, New York with my grandfather.It is no surprise that he became an engineer.He was always this careful, thoughtful older cousin that I had a difficult time trying to think of as Rick and not Ricky when he became an adult.He will always be Ricky to me.With prayers to the Lewis's, Sarah Stone

My deepest sympathy goes out to Rick's family and loved ones. It has been an honor and a pleasure to have known and worked with Rick for many years. He will be greatly missed. Derrick Cook

I met Rick when I was 13. He always had a smile and worked hard at everything and encouraged me to do the same. He made a difference in my life, everybody he met and in everything he did. My thoughts and prayers to all of his family and friends. Irish Prayer May the road rise to meet you May the wind be always at your back May the sun shine warm upon your face And the rain fall soft upon your fields And until we meet again May God hold you In the palm his hand Sharon Windish Corrigan

We would like to send our condolences to you and your family. We are so sorry for your loss. We didn't know Rick very well but he always greeted you with a friendly hello and a warm smile when passing by walking his dog. Our deepest sympathy goes out to your family and pray that God gives you strength in this time of need. Sincerely, Nancy and Al Petrongolo and family (your neighbors at 64 Wendee)

Rick was a special human being. Like to think I left as much with him as he did with me. He will be missed. My prayers go to his family and all who knew him. Bud Hanlin

Rick & I had known one another for over 2 decades, but recently began working very closely together over the last few years. Rick was one of the most kind, gentle, conflict averse people I have ever met - I doubt he had a mean bone in his body. He respected his peers and always had a quirky, somewhat goofy upbeat outlook on things. His shy, sweet, and thoughtful demeanor will be VERY missed by all. Rick loved his family very much, and it was apparent they were his world by how he spoke of them - he was very proud. My deepest sympathy to Cindy, their children, and his entire family/friends.

Cynthia, Patrick, Michael and I can't leave out Athena...I know that your husband and dad, was well loved and respected. He had great character and a big heart! My heart goes out to you...Sincerely Kathy Mann

Though I haven't seen my cousin Rick since he was about 12 years old, I was so saddened to hear of his untimely passing. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you, his family and friends, who are gathered today in love, grief, and remembrance of him. My favorite memory of my cousin Rick was of him doing his awesome and hilarious impression of the cartoon character Snagglepuss. Rick with his quiet, gentle energy rarely drew attention to himself when we cousins got together, usually at Grandma and Grandpa Stone's house. However, on one such occasion, one of my cousins, maybe Michelle or Stephen, said that we ought to hear Rick do Snagglepuss, that he did a great impression. We said, "Yeah, do it Rick, do it!" So, with a fairly unsuccessful attempt at controlling his mirth and with his bit of a lisp, Rick said, "Snagglepuss....exit stage left, or stage right even" and had us all laughing out loud, begging him to do it again. That poor cat was totally upstaged by my cousin who did a better Snagglepuss than Snagglepuss himself. The best part of it was seeing Rick's total delight in cracking us all up. And that is how I will remember him best. With love, Evelyn Stone

Rick was a great person to work with, my prayers go out the family

So sorry for your loss! God Bless you and your family!

I have had the privilege to work with Rick in the past when he was on the ATOP program. He was a dedicated hard worker who always saw the bright side of things and wanted to work any issues as a TEAM! I also had the privilege spend time outside of work at various functions when you could see that he was a true family man. We always talked about our families and I could see how important family was to him. I know he touched anyone he met in a special way as he did that with me. I will always remember Rick as a kind, gentle, and truly caring person inside and out. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Lewis Family. I'm sorely heartbroken over his passing and I will always remember him with a smile. Sincerely, Chris DeFazio

My wonderful son is gone almost a year. My heart continues to break. There is no greater loss than the loss of a child, no matter the age. We give our children life, teach them values; they are our legacy. As a parent, we are not suppose to out live our children. We all continue to grieve this beautiful life cut short too soon. Love my beautiful first born child, Mom

Cyndi and family, I'm so sorry for your loss, my deepest sympathies. Betty Yesko

Rick was one of the good ones, gone to soon. He always had a smile on his face. Prayers for his loved ones. Jamie Finley

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

My deepest sympathy to the family for your loss. I worked with Rick for many years at the FAA (he at the WJHTC and me at Headquarters). He was always a pleasure to work with. Rick always had a smile on his face. He will truly be missed. May God bless the family and be with you! Kathy Smith

My condolences to your family and all of Rick's friends. Rick was my manager for many years, but more than that Rick was truly a friend. He was there for me when I lost my Father and made sure I had nothing to worry about at work during that time. He was someone who would always lend an ear and have a pleasant conversation. The void that is felt for me will be filled with memories of his kindness, caring and patience, all things that I hope I can carry on in my daily life in remembrance. Chris Smith

My sincere sympathy to the family. May you gain comfort from the fond memories you have. Also, that our Almighty God has promised "He will swallow up death forever and wipe the tears from all faces." (Isaiah 25:8)

Rick's kind spirit and gentle nature will be recalled fondly in the hearts of those who shared his path on his brief walk of life.

I am extremely saddened by the loss of Rick and extend my condolences to his family. Rick was one of the best and will be missed by anyone lucky enough to have known him.

My deepest sympathies and thoughts to the Lewis family. Like many, I have known Rick for years through the FAA. The world has lost a truly kind and decent person. He will be sorely missed.

It was a pleasure to work with Rick and an honor to know him. Rick always spoke fondly of his sons and wife. Rick's infectious smile and positive attitude towards work and life will be truly missed. My thoughts and prayer are with the Lewis family God bless.

I worked with Rick at the FAA on the ATOP Program for several years. He was a dedicated inspiration on the program and always a professional. He served as a mentor to several of us and has left a lasting impression that will allow us to continue forward in his honor. Well done good and faithful servant!! Stephen Bayliff - FAA

My deepest sympathies to your family. Rick was my manager and was always positive and upbeat. He has been there for me as my husband has battled cancer and very supportive during the loss of a coworker. His door was always opened. He will truly be missed. Rest in peace Rick! Carol Widerker

I've known Rick for many years while working for the FAA. He was always so kind, always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and have a conversation. A positive influence for sure! I am so very sorry for your loss...and for all that knew him. My sympathies are with you and your family.

I am so very sorry to hear of Rick's passing. He was so kind and was always willing to go out of his way for his FAA coworkers, providing whatever help was needed - and always with a smile. He provided so much helpful advice for me and acted as a mentor for many of us. Such a wonderful soul! Our prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Please accept my most heartfelt sympathies for your loss…my thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.

My heart/thought/prayers go out to the family. Rick was not only a great co-worker, he was a terrific person, friend and a mentor. Always with an optimistic point of view and a willingness to take on challenges, Rick was dedicated to making the FAA a better place. Rick was my office neighbor and we'd talk daily, whether about work or football, Rick has impacted many lives for the better, mine included. You're missed my friend!!

I am so very sorry for your loss. I worked with Rick for 20 years at the FAA. He was my friend, co-worker, former boss and mentor. I wouldn't be where I am today in my career without him. He will truly be missed. - Stacey Jabanoski

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Rick over the years, him being at the tech center and me being at HQ. When our paths crossed, it was always a pleasure to work with someone who could make me laugh and I could trust and who enjoyed life. He will be missed by many. Judy Tarter - Co-worker

My deepest sympathy to the Lewis family. I have known Rick for many years working at the FAA. He was a kind and gentle soul and his constant smile will surely be missed. May he rest in peace and may his family find comfort in knowing he touched so many lives. Debby Schafer
