I received a phone call this morning from the men's club president where Lew Mengle (shulew3) and I are golf members to inform me that Lew passed away from an apparent heart attack some time Tuesday night. There was concern when he didn't show up or call for his round of golf on Wednesday. The police were called in to investigate and in entering his home they found him passed away in his bed.
Lew came over Teusday morning to do some work on his 914. He had a love/hate relationship with it because he loved to drive it but hated everything that went wrong with it. He loved the outings with all the 914 members and at seventy nine he could manage to keep up. He was a regular member of the Dawn Patrol, 914 World and a great friend...He will be deeply missed. Al |

Lew has a younger sister who lives back east. She is being contacted by the coroner's office. He also has a nephew who lives in Washington. The point person outside of Lew's family is Steve Bell, a long time friend and president of the men's club where Lew and I are members. He will be handling all of the details and will be in contact with Lew's family. I don't know any particulars at this time on what will be done with his body...if he has a burial site back east where he used to live in Pennsylvania or here?
Steve Bell will keep me informed via his family's wishes of all details going forward concerning Lew. At this point it is a sit and wait situation until family decisions are made. As soon as I get feedback I will pass it on to you all. On a side note...I wish I didn't have to do this! Al |
