He graduated from Robinson High School in 1970 and graduated from the University of Michigan in 1974 where he proudly played college football. He has pursued his love for cars as a Dealer and Manager for Chevrolet for over 40 years. He was currently the Commercial and Fleet Manager at Grossman Chevrolet/Nissan in Old Saybrook. In addition to his work for Chevrolet, Lewis owned several businesses, one for which he was featured on 60 minutes as the “Repo Man.” Lewis deeply enjoyed serving as the past Commodore of Essex Corinthian Yacht Club and had a great love for politics. More recently, Lewis has enjoyed spending time with his wife Joanne boating, driving the corvette, tailgating at UConn football games, and vacationing in Cape Cod.
