William Henry Lewis, 85, passed away peacefully on December 24, 2019 surrounded by his treasured family.  He was married to the love of his life Marlana for 37 years who preceded him in death.

He was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to John and Irene Lewis. The oldest of six children. He served in the US Army Signal Corps for two years in Europe.  When he returned home he earned a BS degree in Business Administration from the University of Pittsburgh.  He had a life-time career with AT&T in various management positions until retiring.  But Bill had too much life to give and worked part-time at Lowe's Home Improvement for 14 years covering shifts for others when ever needed.  He was a big Steeler Football fan with season tickets for over 30 years – never missing a game in person or on TV.

Bill is survived by his three children, Marcie Elizabeth Collie, husband Lou; Tiffany Olivia Driggers, husband Jon and John Gordon "Jordy" Lewis, all of Raleigh, North Carolina.  Five grandchildren, Caroline Collie, Jacqueline Collie, Spenser Driggers, Lane Driggers and Eli Driggers, all of Raleigh, North Carolina.  Preceding him in death are his brother Howard and sister Marlene.  He is survived by sisters Anna Mae, Margaret and Charlotte.
