• Flo and family, It's been almost a week since I heard about Tim's passing and I still find myself thinking about him. Although we haven't kept in touch recently, I still remember as a young punk growing up on our cul-de-sac & Tim and his big grin, always had a little something to say as we whipped by on our bikes. I think back with a smile how lucky we were to have such great neighbours, we had so much fun in the 80's and 90's and Tim definitely played a role in that. Thinking of you and sending my heartfelt condolences. - Posted by: Shannon Demski (Neighbour) on: Aug 27, 2013

• Flo, Jill and Jeff, Molly and all of Tim's family we are so saddened and heartbroken for your loss. Mr. Lewis was always a bright spot in my day whenever we had family events or I'd happen to run into him. He was so kind and thoughtful. We are all so lucky to have had him in our lives and to learn from his generosity and joie de vivre! Know that we are here for you and crying alongside you if you need to lean on us.

• We were so saddened to hear of Tim's illness and then the too quick passing. Tim was the best Dad ever. Always made time for his children's activities and their friends. Tim was always the dad who volunteered first to drive the kids wherever just so he could be in their lives. He will be very sadly missed by all. Although we are in Vancouver we have kept up with the lives of the Lewis's through mutual friends and family. Our hearts go out to Flo, Jill and Jeff. - Posted by: Val and Morley Myren (Friend) on: Aug 26, 2013

• Dear Flo, Jillian & Jeff, my deepest sympathies to you at this most difficult time. I spent a lot of days on your cul de sac growing up, from riding bmx bikes and skateboards to learning how to drive. Knowing Tim as a family friend and neighbour throughout those times made a childhood more memorable. His wit and charm just made you feel good. Seeing him at the golf course on the day of our wedding was a great surprise and then again 9 years later on Dave & Rae's driveway right next door! Same Tim, big smile and a how the heck are ya! Of course we had a good look at his Bike as well! I was so sad to hear of his passing and also sad we were unable to attend his service. You are very much in our thoughts and prayers. - Posted by: Derek Roth (Friend & Neighbour) on: Aug 25, 2013

• Tim Lewis, my boss, my friend, my colleague, taken to soon. In the 3 1/2 years I worked with you, you were an inspiration to me, and that made my time working with you so much more fulfilling. There are a lot of things I will remember about you my friend, but the one thing that I will never forget is our song coming back from Emo, Ontario ..... Blame it on Stain, ya ya ! Cheers my friend ! Rest in peace - Posted by: Charlie and Lianne Vogel (Friends) on: Aug 23, 2013

• It was a sad day when I learned of Tim's passing. It brought back many good memories I had with him, from playing hockey with him for almost 20 years to riding our bikes out to Selkirk. Tim was always quick to make everyone smile and laugh. I will think of him every time I step on the ice with the Charleswood Kings and go for a ride with the boys. Everyone was truly enlightened when Tim was around. Kiss the ones you love and enjoy the precious time we have together. Allan - Posted by: Allan (Friend) on: Aug 23, 2013

• My condolences to the Lewis family, I remember meeting Tim when he was an account representative for Diversey and he looked after HSC, I worked in the kitchen and Tim always made time to chat with me for a few minutes. I remember thinking that if I ever became a salesman I would carry myself just like Tim. He was always very professionally dressed and always made the time for the low man on the totem pole. I've been selling for 28 years and Tim I've modelled my selling techniques after the professionalism that you carried yourself with. I didn't see Tim on a regular basis but when we did get together for lunch or coffee I would always share this story with him and of course he just chuckled. Tim you left a great impact on my professional life and though I spoke it to you , you probably never realized how great an impact it truly was. You will be missed my friend and Godspeed to your family. - Posted by: Leroy Steele (Friend ) on: Aug 23, 2013

• On behalf of my family and I, our deepest condolences. Mr. Lewis was an amazing and genuine individual. Even as I got older and moved away - I loved bumping into Mr. and Mrs. Lewis and giving them updates on my family and I. He played a key role in making the street I grew up on an amazing place to be - I will always be grateful for that. - Posted by: Raj Patel (Past neighbour from lake grove) on: Aug 23, 2013

I just can't believe he is gone...He was really one of the good guys around...my condolences to the family..gaile petursson-hiley - Posted by: Gaile Petursson-Hiley (friend from Silver Heights Collegiate) on: Aug 22, 2013

• It is with great sadness that we hear of Tim's passing. After many years of not living in Winnipeg, he still makes me burst out laughing at times when I recall some of his comments and antics.

• To Tim's family and fellow Tim friends, I offer my sincere condolences for the loss of a great man. I first met Tim when I was invited to play hockey with a group of guys who called themselves the Charleswood Kings. Tim made a real effort to engage in conversation with me and made me feel welcomed. As the years of playing hockey continued, Tim's character of kindness, humour and passion proved to be a consistent trait in how he lived his life. Although I have many fond memories of Tim, one that stands out is the time we were playing hockey and just after we finished warm-up and before the game began, Tim yelled at everyone on the ice to meet at centre ice. I wondered what was going on, as I'm sure the other guys did as well, but we all skated to centre ice as Tim requested. When we got to centre ice Tim wanted us to all recognize how fortunate we are to have soldiers like the ones in the Canadian Military, who had fought for us and lost their lives. Tim wanted us to take a moment of silence to reflect. It was an emmotional thing and everyone was silent. That moment said a lot to me about the kind of person Tim Lewis was... I truly admired him. He was someone who always made people feel comfortable and people enjoyed being in his company. We have all been most fortunate to have experienced knowing him and we will all miss him. ...

• Dear Flo, Jeff, Jill, Molly and family. Words cannot do justice when describing Tim. He was a friend, a shoulder, a tease, a nut, one of the friends I couldn't wait to see come walking in my salon. He took over the room. His charm made everyone around feel happier. I will cherish all of the memories I have of him and all of the things he did for everyone. Please accept my deepest condolences Lewis family. I will forever miss him. - Posted by: Mechelle Smith (Friend and hairstylist) on: Aug 22, 2013

• Tim and I were in school together forever because we both signed up for the long term plan. We drifted apart for a while and then reunited five or six years ago to ride our Harleys together. He loved his Thursday night rides with the "gang" and our rides will never be the same without him. His loud pipes, warm smile and wonderful sense of humor will be very much missed. Warmest regards and deepest sympaty to Flo and family for your loss! - Posted by: Bob Acheson (Friend) on: Aug 22, 2013

• I was sorry to hear of Tim's passing as I read the FP this morning. My condolences to Flo and all the family. While I don't think I've seen Tim since I worked with him at the City of Winnipeg Water & Waste Dept, Tim was a memorable character. I always enjoyed working with him, and when I think of him it's all positive in every way. When I think of Tim I always smile... he had a gift. I've thought of Tim often over the years as I still play practical jokes on others Tim first played on me. May you as a family know God's peace at this time. - Posted by: Ron Hampton (co-worker from 35 years ago) on: Aug 22, 2013
