He was married to Stephani Weaver for 40 years. They built their small ranch on 4 acres in the west Phoenix Valley and later built a summer cabin in Happy Jack, AZ. He held many jobs, including sales, construction, and property management. He was driven by the entrepreneurial spirit of the west.
His son Keith was a source of pride and enjoyment. Most recently, both were involved in a real estate and property management business. They grew the business on the values of service and commitment.
Lewis P’s favorite past times included horseback riding, building, spending quality time at the “cabin” with Stephani and watching his son play music at the local establishments.
He gave back to his community wherever he lived. He served in the Army National Guard, Maricopa Sheriff’s Posse, American Legion and other local service groups in the Valley.
He will be missed but will live on in our hearts and minds. Everyone who knew him was touched by his presence. He is survived by his wife Stephani, his son Keith and many caring relatives back in PA, whose stories he shared upon return to AZ from his summer visits to PA.
