To the Wellington family who I spent my youthful years growing up with, I am very saddened for your loss. Lewis E. Wellington, AKA Bugs was a man of many talents. As my uncle I looked up to him and had the up most respect for his work ethics. His loyalty to his wife Joan and his family and the community he resided in. He taught me many things about farming that most would never get the chance to experience. I am saddened I will not be able to attend and support the family in the up coming days. You certainly are in my thoughts and prayers. Lewis E, Wellington RIP.

Dear Wellington Family,
I am so saddened by the news that you have lost Bugs. I know he was the strength and light of your family...and Joanie I understand how deep your sense of loss must be. I wish I could speak with all of you this week and express my wishes for your comfort and peace. Unfortunately I had shoulder replacement surgery two weeks ago and can neither drive nor hold up for periods of time. So please accept my sympathies and love at this time and pass the message to one another.

Al: Sorry to hear about the recent loss of your father. I first met your dad when we were starting up SAVES. Our paths crossed again when he was on the Town planning board. He was a great guy and I always enjoyed his company and working with him. Please extend my condolences also to your mother.

Allan & Lisa:

I am sorry to hear the passing of Allan's dad. From what I did know about your dad is that he was hard working and was a great dad. Allan you are just like your dad and will carry on the tradition of always being there to help those in need. Your dad lives on through you and generation after generation of the Wellington family.

Sorry about the lost of your love one. God is the Creator of life. The Bible calls Jehovah God the source of life. (Psalm 36:9; Acts 17;24,25) The One who gave life to all living creatures is certainly capable of restoring life to someone who has died.

Condolences to your family. May you receive comfort from the word of God during this time of loss. Acts 24:15 says there will be a resurrection of the righteous and unrighteous. Can you imagine the joy of Martha and Mary when Jesus raised Lazarus back to life?—Read John 11:21-24, 38-44. Revelation 21:3,4 promises that one day death, mourning, and outcry will be no more. To find out more regarding the hope for the dead visit JW.org and search "death".

I played both in the Skaneateles Community Band and the Auburn Civic Band with Lou. Also we served in SAVES together. Lou was much admired by me and it was a privilege to have known him and be part of the community with hime. My condolences to the family and friends like myself who mourn is passing.

It seems so unfair that death should have the power to take away someone you love; and when it happens , the thought of never again being able to talk to, laugh with, or hold your love one can be most difficult to bear. That pain is not necessarily erased by being told that your love one is up in heaven. The bible, holds a out a much different hope. At Job 14:14,15, it says that the God of comfort Jehovah, yearns to bring back those who are in his memory and to see them alive on earth. I really hope this thought brings family and friends comfort.

I just found out of Lou's passing. I am so sorry. Lou was such a great man. I always looked up to him and thought of him as the "salt of the earth". He was truly one of the great ones and will be missed. I am so grateful that I had the experience of working with him over the years. Our best to the family.

While words fail to capture the pain of losing a loved one, we look forward to the time when words will fail to capture the joy of having our heavenly Father return your dear one to you. John 5:28,29

Welcome

Lewis E. Wellington
