his work as a custom cabinet builder.
Mr. Hawkins will always be remembered by his friends and extended family as 
being a true friend and unselfishly offering encouragement to all.
Lewis is survived by his loving wife, Dorothy L. Hawkins; his son, Kenneth 
Hawkins of Williamsburg, Va.; a grandson, Arthur (Erica) of Miami, Fla.; a 
granddaughter, Michelle of Norfolk, Va.; a great-granddaughter, Jade; and his 
sister, Doris Rider of Benzonia.
Preceding Lewis in death were his parents; his sister, Marie; his brothers, 
Nye, Leo, Paul, Cecil, De and Robert; and numerous nieces and nephews.
