Your Name: : Bryan Wiser   
Enter your message here: : I work for DISD HVAC Maintenance, and have spent many days at Madison H.S. and got to know Coach Lewis. As I got to know him I looked forward to getting a work order to go there so I could be in Coach Lewis' infectious presence. If you were in a bad mood, a few minutes of talking and listening to his banter with whoever was in Mr. Rock's Office was guarenteed to lift your sprits. I'm still shocked and saddened that Lewis wont be there my next trip to Madison, but I am comforted that he is in good hands with the Lord! I will miss you Lewis but look forward to when we see each other again. Bryan Wiser
