Later in life, he owned and operated Modern Barber Shop in downtown Tupelo for over 40 years where many enjoyed his quick wit and haircuts. Lewis was an avid outdoorsman and especially enjoyed hunting, fishing, vegetable gardening and beekeeping. He was a member of the American Legion Post 49 in Tupelo. His favorite thing in the world to do was spend time with his grandson, Nicholas and great-grandson, Owen. He was a long-time faithful member of First Baptist Church where he served as a Deacon.
