Wayne Lewis
It is with great sadness to report that Wayne Lewis has passed away. He helped make drag racing great. His knowledge will never be replaced. God speed, may you be teching in heaven. Sue,s address is Susan Lewis 3558 South 51ST Lincoln NE 68506 3917. Viewing for Wayne will be Thursday from 6 to 8 pm at Butherus Maser and Love 4040 A street 68510 in Lincoln NE. Funeral will be at the same on Fri at 10:30. Phone to the place is 402-488-0934. With this virus stuff going on it mite be best to call them and find out all the rules. Tom

Re: Wayne Lewis
Very sad to learn about this. Wayne was at Earlville about a month ago and was using an oxygen pump while doing fuel check and other tech duties. I always enjoyed tear downs with Wayne. May he rest in peace!

Re: Wayne Lewis
Always fair, always honest. Told it the way it was, but you knew he was pulling for you, especially in out of division races.

Re: Wayne Lewis
Wayne Lewis was a giant among all of the members of the tech crew. You always knew where you stood with Mr. Lewis. 100 percent by the rule book, always fair and honest. The loss of this great friend saddens me. His absence will be felt for many years in D-5 events. Godspeed Mr. Lewis, Rest In Peace.

Re: Wayne Lewis
Very sad news. As others have said fair, knowledgeable, calm and friendly. Such a great, dry sense of humor.
I will miss him but have many great memories. RIP my friend. |
