Salley and husband Jerry of Many, LA, and Van T. Tarver, III of Springhill, LA. C.W. Lewis was a very unique individual. He loved Camaro cars, printed t-shirts, caps, watches, knives, guns and collecting Marilyn Monroe memorabilia. He was a snappy dresser and was always dressed well for any occasion. He was a very good or rather an ace pool player. C.W. graduated high school in 1964 and entered the Air Force. He served from May 26, 1966 and was honorably discharged on May 25, 1969. He enjoyed eating out and especially liked Merci Beau Coup, Canes, and McDonalds. He had a special fondness for Oreo Cookies, Hot Fries, and Frosted Flakes Cereal. Every Christmas he would receive a World Almanac Book and it sparked a gift for remembering facts, figures and historical data (names, dates, places and times). His ability to recall details of history was very impressive.
