Mr. Morris passed away Tuesday, December 14, 2010. Lewis was born on May 11, 1938 in Glasgow, Scotland. He served two years in the Royal Fusiliers. He moved to the United States in 1986 where he worked in sales and management. He and his wife, Melody retired and moved to Gainesville in 2001 to be near children and grandchildren.

Lewis went to work at Wal-Mart where he helped setup the “Connection Center”. Working with his fellow work-mates and the customers became a joy. He was soon known by his Scottish accent and his keen sense of humor. He worshipped at Temple Beth Emeth in Sherman. But in 2010, his health began to wain. In December he was diagnosed with brain cancer.
