Robert G. Lewis Jr., obituary
On Friday May 15, 2020, Robert Gordon Lewis Jr., loving husband, father, and "Pop Pop", was called home by his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Robert was born on June 25, 1954 in Rockland, Maine to Robert G. Lewis Sr. and Beverly Kitching Lewis. He was the oldest of three children. He grew up in West Rockport with his brother, "Billy," and sister, Jeannie. He attended local schools and received his diploma from Camden High School in 1974.
He had a reputation for being a hard worker. Over the years, he held various jobs across the Mid Coast area including Moss Tents, Sprowl Brothers Lumber, and restoring the Rockport Harbor Lime Kiln.
On August 20, 1983, he married Terry Lynn Garbotz in the West Rockport Baptist Church. Robert and Terry had two daughters and made their home in Searsmont, Maine.
Robert loved 70s rock music, family gatherings, and "puttering" around the house. Some of his fondest memories include visiting historic civil war sites with his wife, attending rock & roll concerts with his oldest daughter, Carly, and sitting around the home made fire pit with his youngest daughter, Jolene. Robert was a homebody and finished most days relaxing with his pets and drinking a cold beer.
Robert was predeceased by his father, Robert Lewis Sr.; mother, Beverly Lewis; brother, William Lewis; and his beloved "Uncle Chummy".
He was survived by his wife of 36 years, Terry Lewis of Searsmont; sister, Jeannie Lewis of West Rockport; daughter Carly Mercer of Belfast and her three children, Eiyah Jackson, Ayanna Jackson, and Ethan Mercer; his daughter Jolene Lewis of Washington DC and her two children, Marques Warren and Emre Lafortune.
The family has attended a private viewing. A celebration of Roberts life will be planned and announced for a later date.
Arrangements are under the care of Riposta Funeral Home in Belfast. Memories and condolences may be shared with the family at www.ripostafh.com
