September 20, 1935 — August 13, 2014
We will look for your guidance when the time comes....
Frederick C. "Fritz" Lewis, 78.
Born to Ken and Lucille Lewis on September 20, 1935 in Lansing, Michigan.
A Man Of Accomplishment:
From the football field of Lansing Everett High School to head coach of a State Championship Team at Albion High School.
From Coach and Teacher to Vice President, Olivet College.
From the Director of Education to the CEO of the Michigan Association of Independent Agents.
"From all daughters, to a house full of boys." the coach would say.
Son, Husband, Father, Grandfather, Great-Grandfather, Teacher, Coach, CEO; so much to so many.... In every role, he was a man of sincerity and integrity, delivering his own special brand of strength, grace and charm to every situation. A man who was easy to follow, who led with an enthusiasm that was contagious and a humility that was genuine. Quick to love, slow to anger and a friend to all who knew him. Fritz will remain a hero to many. It can be said that he loved people and he never met a stranger.
He was preceded in death by his parents (Ken and Lucille), wife (Sue) and brother, (Jim). Fritz is survived by his wife, Virginia of 14 years, children, Wendy (Buck) Loveless, Becky (Dave) DeMott, Tess (Jon) Gifford, Kendra (Badge) Velasquez, Brian (Dianne) Aitken, Marguerite (Carl) Falkenstern, Melissa Aitken, 13 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren.
