For a little while we must part.
But we’ll see each other soon,
On the far side of the moon”

  1. Well you beat me for once Lewter ! Although we lost contact in recent years, I’ll always remember the “Gogbill Crew” and all of the good times we had at Meadowbrook. Feel like skipping class ? See you on the other side Bro…

    1. Donna Lewter says:

      I think I erred putting 1967 for Gene’s class. But things were really crazy and I guess people who knew him will know. Thank you for your message. Gene would have liked that as he thought so much of you.

  2. I will miss your smile & sense of humor. I loved you as my uncle and the fact that you loved my Aunt Donna so very much. Sweet dreams to a sweet man. Leigh Anne

  3. I worked as an interpreter at Chesterfield Tech, 2001-2002 after I retired from teaching high school Spanish. Interpreting for the Hispanic students in Mr. Lewter’s class gave me the chance to know Eugene as a wonderful teacher and a good example for his students. I will long remember the humorous stories he told the students about some of his job experiences. His class is one of the reasons I cherish the experience I had at the tech center. He was an excellent example of teaching in a technical field. HIs students profited greatly by what they learned in his class. My heart is with his family and friends at the loss of this dear man.
