Derrick Schreiber wrote a sympathy message

“To the Simmons family, I am very sorry for your loss. I met Lewis 40+ years ago through my Dad, when I was 15. My Dad worked for the Post Office in Augusta, and loved to fish. He and Lewis hit it off, & we started fishing the property just east of Leon. Even after my Dad died in 2006, Lewis still let me and my family fish. He was one of the most gracious, caring, kind people I have ever met in my 55 years. I always enjoyed visiting with him. He will be greatly missed. You are all in my prayers.”
