West Chatham Chapel
Robert W. Lewis, 81, of Port Wentworth passed away peacefully on January 5.
Bob was a World War II Navy Veteran and retired from Gulfstream Aerospace after 25 years of service. Bob obtained his private pilots license after his honorable discharge from the Navy in 1946, and flying was his passion for decades. Bob also enjoyed riding his motorcycles, breakfast at the beach, and restoring classic cars.
He is survived by two daughters, Susan Lewis of Charlotte, NC and Sally Lewis Clontz and husband Randy of Indian Trail, NC. He is also survived by close friends, Ann and Alan Tebbetts family, Robin and Jim Vauiso family, Daphne Morris and Kenny and Dorothy Kocher, whose years of companionship enhanced his life greatly.
The family would like to thank the nursing staff at Candler Hospital, especially Katie Wallack and Amber Cooper.
