Grandpa Lloyd Lewis

Grandpa was born Oct 24th 1929 in Dickens Nebraska. He had 1 little sister Joanne. He grew up in Nebraska and Midwest Wyoming. Here are his parents and sister. I love the old cars in the back. I am very grateful that we have these pictures.

Grandpa's graduation picture.

Grandpa enlisted in the U.S. Navy after high school. He was stationed on an aircraft carrier, the Kearsarge. He fought for our freedom in the Korean War. While serving 2 movies where filmed on his ship and he loved to point out where in the movie you could see him.


Grandpa loved the Broncos, antiques, fishing and most of all the kids. He started going to Bronco games in 1968. He has been a season ticket holder for 40 years. He also enjoyed going to Colorado University games. He converted many "non-believers" into Bronco fans. In 1978 he went to the 1st Bronco Superbowl in New Orleans. He got to go to his last game on September 20th of this year. We love you Grandpa and will miss you till the day we will all be united again. Thanks for all the memories!!!!!
