LEWIS – Cecil George, 86, of Liverpool, passed away peacefully in Queens General Hospital, Liverpool on Friday, July 29, 2016 surrounded by his loving family.
Born June 9, 1930 in Rexton, NB, he was a son of the late Mabel Hannay and Stuart MacGregor and the adoptive son of the late Aretus and Miriam (Penny) Lewis.

He loved his family, the outdoors, his time at the lake, a good book, and throughout his life, his many dogs. In high school, Cecil was involved in the youth band and Cadets.

He is survived by his wife of 64 years, Ruth Ethel (Mouland); his daughters Deborah (Alex) Doggett and Holly (Philip) Smith, both of Hunt’s Point, Beth Stuart (Stephen Armstrong) of Tusket, Kim (Mark) Hachey of Italy Cross.
