ABOUT:

A boisterous and loud southern gentleman, HB Lewis was a terrific man. He was a friend to many people, and he was amazingly loyal to those close to him. HB could often be found supporting his family and giving them advice when needed. However, things were not all sunshine and roses when it came to the patriarch of the Lewis Family.

HB was a shrewd businessman, and he would go to great lengths to protect both his company and his family from any perceived threat. For example, at one point he believed that Reva was not the right woman for his youngest son, Josh. HB bribed Reva to marry him, instead, just to keep her from Josh.

Sadly, on September 11th, 1996, HB Lewis died while in France.

One of the things that most viewers will remember is his annual reading of “The First Christmas.”
