September 10, 1934 - January 30, 2015
Harold ''Hal'' Lewis, 80, of Conway, passed away on January 30th, 2015. He was born September 10th, 1934, in Manila, Arkansas to the late Frank Garfield Lewis Sr. and Exie Stutts Lewis.

After Harold finished his service in the U.S. Army he went on to earn a Ph.D. from the University of Arkansas. He leaves behind a legacy of academic service as a professor in Texas, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Arkansas. Doctor Lewis' contributions to the United States cotton industry cannot be overstated. Hal's favorite pastime was working the land.

We are friends of Mr Lewis Grandson Jacob, and would like to send prayers, and condolences to Jacob and family at this time of sorrow.
dorris bourland called to tell me about Harold's death. I thought so much of him and have heard many of his stories through the years. Jerry was especially fond of his cousin, and I bet they will have some long, lots of laughter, conversations in Heaven.
may you be blessed in the time of your grief.
love, nancy stutts
