    To the Weinstein family, please accept my deepest sympathy. I did not know Lew but thanks to his policy at the store I was able to restart my life with a bit of new furniture and easy payments at a low time in my life. Always grateful for that break. Thank you, Lew, for being the kind, caring person you were.

    My deepest sympathies to the Weinstein family. My childhood favorite memories are entwined with our Narragansett next door neighbors. Raylah and Lew were a second set of summers parents to me and I will always cherish Lew’s ever smiling and loving personality. Heaven’s beach now has another angel and our folks and my brother Bruce are together again. My heart breaks for you, Nancy, Steve, and Bruce! With all my love,
