OBITUARIES Frank R. Lewis He was the son of Lou A. McNary of Yellow Springs. He was a 1973 graduate of Yellow Springs High School and remained in the village after graduation. He was a very active coach and volunteer with the Yellow Springs Little League for many years and also assisted with the youth soccer program. Mr. Lewis starred in tennis while in high school and remained active with the sport, teaching and coaching area adults and youth until his health declined in recent years. He also assisted the Yellow Springs High School basketball team during its recent successful tournament run. He will be remembered for his avid love of sports. He was a lifetime Cleveland Browns and Indiana Hoosiers fan, and local sports fans will miss his constant commentary regarding his favorite teams. He is survived by his loving mother, Lou, who is a resident at the Friends Care Community; a host of cousins in Ohio, Indiana and Michigan; a long list of friends, former teammates and players who will miss him. A memorial gathering of friends and family was held on Saturday, Nov. 29, as sports and music were mixed with warm memories and smiles. A tree, with a memorial plaque, will be planted in Mr. Lewis’s memory either at Ellis Park or near the Little League field on a yet to be determined date. Memorial contributions can be made to the Village of Yellow Springs, c/o Frank Lewis Memorial Fund, 100 Dayton Street, Yellow Springs, Ohio, 45387.
