Obituary

Martin "Marty" Lewis, age 85, passed away peacefully on July 21, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. Beloved husband of Arlene (née Neimark) for 59 wonderful years. Loving father of Jeffrey (Mara), Kenneth (Saroja), and Steven (Jamie). Cherished grandfather of Blake and Abbie. Dear brother of Eileen (William) Cohen and Burton (Andria) Lewis; brother-in-law of Stanley (Barbara) Neimark; and fond uncle to many nieces and nephews. Marty was kind, caring, intelligent, compassionate, and fun-loving. Travel was a great passion of his, and he took countless family trips around the world. He spent much of his adult life in business with his brother Burt. He had an endless curiosity, and took much joy in his rich social world. More than anything, Marty was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather, and treasured his family, and he will be deeply missed.
