Paul Wayne Lewis, 69, died peacefully at his home in Dripping Springs, Texas, on Saturday, May 13. He was born December 4th, 1947 in El Paso, Texas, to Harlan and Margarette Lewis.
Growing up, Paul attended several different schools as the family followed his military father from base to base. He returned to central Texas to finish high school, and went on to attend the University of Houston where he earned a degree in business administration. A management position with Napko Paint brought him to the beautiful central Texas hill country in 1971. After spending the early part of his career with other companies, Paul secured a job as site superintendent for Stokes Construction where he worked for over twenty years. Paul retired in 2011 to work and play in his home shop, returning to his first love, carpentry.
Paul married Irma Crowley in 1969 in Pasadena, Texas. They were happily married for 48 years. Together they enjoyed spending time with their children and working on their ten acres. Other shared interests included fishing, discussing history and raising chickens.
