Leroy Hayes Lewis, infant

Leroy Hayes Lewis, son of Tyson and Claire Lewis of Manhattan, died June 16, 2005.

Born June 15, 2005, Leroy was the grandson of Bob and Gerri Lewis of West Mountain Road, and Joanne Lamb Hayes and Tom and Phyllis Hayes of Manhattan.

In his short life Leroy won the hearts of his family. He was named for his great-grandfather, the late Leroy Davis Lamb, and died on his namesake’s birthday.

Besides his parents and grandparents, Leroy is survived by four great-grandparents, John and Eileen Karwoski of Silver Birch Lane and Bob and Jean Lewis of Peaceable Ridge; four aunts and uncles, Jonathan and Heather Nanberg of Manhattan, Gillian Lewis of San Diego and Christian Lewis of Manhattan; and many great-aunts, -uncles and cousins.

Contributions in his memory may be made to the Leroy Hayes Lewis Research Fund (Attention Joyce Ligi, Ridgefield Bank, 155 Danbury Road, Ridgefield, CT 06877) and will be used to advance the research of stillbirths and sudden infant death syndrome.
