Alfred "Pete" Lorrell Lewis, Jr., 76, received his calling on January 8, 2021. He was surrounded by his devoted wife Dianne of 55 years, and his son Jerry. He will now be reunited with his father 'Pops', who he loved and respected. Lemke Funeral Homes assisted the family with arraignments.
Pete was born on April 23, 1944, son of Alfred Lewis, Sr., and Dorothy Clark. He married Dianne Krebs on September 22, 1965. He began working for Clinton Water Works at a young age, and retired after 34 years of service.
As a drag racing enthusiast, he was well known as 'Sneaky Pete' at the track. He was a member of the Clinton Billiards Association, and had developed many friendships during decades of showing off his competitive skills at the tables. He was a Jack-of-all-trades; there was nothing that he and his brother Rich 'Bro' couldn't fix.
Some of the many special things that will be remembered most include his passion for Harley-Davidson motorcycles, sharing Wendy's Frosty's with Princess, tinkering with small engines, eagle-watching, relaxing on the swing with family enjoying a Coors Light, popping wheelies with the tractor, and of course, his love for laughter.
Words cannot express the gratitude for all of his caretakers, who were patient and kind throughout this journey. To Jerry Lampe, his brotherly friend who gave selflessly, we are forever thankful for the generous time you enjoyed with our loved one.
Pete's wish to be cremated will be fulfilled, as well as his desire to have no formal services.
Memorials made to the family can be directed to Lemke Funeral Homes (2610 Manufacturing Drive, Clinton).
"Goodbye for now - when we see you next time, we will laugh again..."
