I will miss Lew as my professor and friend. With his postcards from every corner of the globe to him stopping in to my office to chat, I always enjoyed hearing from him. He’s had an impact on so many and he’ll be missed
To all of Lew’s family. My love and prayers to you during this difficult time. We go way back to when my son, Todd and Hank played hockey together. Spent a few evenings at the Lubka home. God Bless. My God’s loving arms embrace you today and in the difficult days ahead. Many fond memories.
My sympathy to you dear daughter and family. It was nice meeting you at your place of employment.

What an engaging gentleman he was. I knew Lew through dance and he always had a little something to add about the culture we were exploring at the time. I will miss seeing him around town.
Lew brought a new enthusiasm to the community and regional planning department. He never stopped looking to explorer people and places. He will be missed. I am sorry he was not at home when Pat Zavoral and I dropped by to visit with him several months ago.
We have wonderful memories of the Peace Coalition with Lew. He was full of ideas on how we could have a better world. We loved having him stay at our house, with Father Sinner, Sister Celine and other “peaceniks”. We enjoyed postcards from faraway places from Lew as he traveled the world.
What a joy it was to have known this wonderful man.
For Lew’s Family: When we moved to NDSU in 1976 Lew was at the Graduate Planning Office when I walked in. He made my family and I feel welcome and was a great mentor and friend ever since. As others have noted we enjoyed his postcards from various exotic locales throughout the world. His home was always open for visit and a snack as we traveled through Fargo. We enjoyed being able to return the favor and tour you around rural Central New York during part of his trip to the Syracuse University area. Rest in peace. Kenneth and Priscilla Deane. Stuart and Doris Deane.
Our neighborhood won’t be the same. Rest in peace.
Our sympathies to Willie, Reuben, Lorraine and Jack. We will miss your Dad and his postcards, he must have had quite an address book, because he was always sending us postcards wherever he went to wherever we were located. We met Lew in the 70s at NDSU and he was a forever character, so full of life and curiosity. He always had a story of someplace that he had been or some new project he was working on. He was interested in making the world a better place and I think that he did. RIP Lew.
