Dick Lewis has lived in the Inyokern area since he was 15 years old. He is well known as a successful businessman and for many years owner of The Homestead Restaurant and Dick Lewis Domestic Water Service.
Dick is a Major Donor and Charter member of the Inyokern Rotary Club. He has been a member of Rotary for 39 years with perfect attendance! Dick is also the Inyokern Centennial Honorary Mayor.
Dick is a WWII veteran and served on the USS Frazier. He is proud of his service to his country and when he recounts the events he witnessed he does not neglect to mention the horrors of war and that the war was fought by kids. At twenty-one Dick was considered one of the 'old men' on the ship.
Through twists of fate and narrow misses Dick came home to enjoy a long and happy life in Inyokern. Through years of service he has made Inyokern and the world a better place for many.
Thank you Dick for your loyalty to our town and for your many years of service. As Neighbor of the Month Dick received a gift certificate to Torres Steakhouse in Inyokern. Dick will be 88 years young in December.
