— , January 1, 2010It's been a long time since I've seen my cousin Findlay, who I came to know of better through my late grandma, Jean Rachar. When she passed away I regret not staying in touch with Findlay. My sincerest condolences to those who will miss this very kind man.

— DWIGHT BENSON, July 7, 2009We remember Findlay and Gerry as two of the best neighbours we ever had. We moved to Weber Street in Mount Forest and lived across the road from them for 12 years. When we came to live there, our children were babies. That continued until the kids were ready to enter high school and we moved away. Findlay and Gerry were always great neighbours. I remember our kids thought they were playing great tricks on them when they hid in our apple tree and called out when the Lewis' came outside. Findlay always pretended he didn't know who was calling. Our 25 year old son is visiting tonight from Simcoe, Ontario and reminded us of a time when Findlay came across to visit and Terry was washing the car. Ainsley, our daughter, decided it would be a good time to try out her ability to use the hose nozzle and soaked Findlay from head to toe. All I remember is his loud laughter and his amusing comments after about how he should have paid closer attention. He was a great person. We are lucky to have known him. Terry and Valerie Bladon, Ainsley and Greg
— , January 1, 2010To the Lewis Family, May each of you find comfort in knowing that God is "near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves." (Psalm 34;18) He has promised to soon "swallow up death forever...and wipe the tears from all faces." (Isaiah 25;8) Take care,
