Don Lewis was an amazing talent and we were fortunate to have him play piano often at our neighbor’s annual Christmas toy drive and potluck. His music pioneering history is fantastic to read and it’s so great that you’re honoring him with your article. I will be on the lookout for the special being released in February. RIP Don.

Oh, I was so happy to meet Don a few years ago, and what a talent he was! And what a great guy!

Julie, I mourn your loss.

I am so sorry to hear Don has passed away. My husband, Al, and I met Don when he was performing in Denver. We spent most Saturday nights listening to his beautiful music and got acquainted with him and his family. Julie may not know this but Don helped me get through some rough times when we lived in Denver. We moved back to Pleasanton and saw an advertisement he was performing in San Francisco. That's when we introduced many of our friends to him and Julie. Being in real estate, Al encouraged Don and Julie to move to Pleasanton. Once settled, Al sponsored Don into Rotary. Don offered to play for Al's memorial and I believe that is the last time I saw him and Julie. This is definitely a sad day for those of us who loved Don. He will never be forgotten.

Don was a friend and amazingly talented musician. Pleasanton was so very fortunate to have Don and Julie as residents and entertainers. I will miss Don and his talent and caring and giving personality.
