  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize Harry T. Lewis, 
Jr., a long-time Denver business and civic leader, who passed away on 
November 11, 2020.
  Harry was born in Cincinnati, Ohio to Margretta (Borrmann) and Harry 
T. Lewis. The family moved to Denver when Harry was two years old. 
Harry attended East High School and earned his A.B. in Art History from 
Dartmouth College and his M.B.A from the Amos Tuck School of Business 
in 1956. He was commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Navy and spent 
most of his service stationed in Honolulu, HI.
  Harry began his career in Denver in 1959 as a C.P.A and spent the 
bulk of his career as an Investment Banker in Denver with Boettcher & 
Co. and Dain Bosworth. In 1990, he established his own firm, Lewis 
Investments. Throughout his life and career, he held strong beliefs in 
the importance of giving back to the city and state he loved. He 
invested substantial time and expertise to multiple non-profit and 
civic organizations, guided by his viewpoint we should all strive to 
improve our quality of life and better the City of Denver. Harry served 
on numerous community boards including the Boettcher Foundation, 
Colorado Outward Bound School, C.S.U. Research Foundation, Colorado 
Forum, Dartmouth Association of the Great Divide, Denver Museum of 
Nature and Science, Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Denver, 
Inc. and The Stapleton Foundation. In his personal life, he was an avid 
skier and fly fisherman, loved fine art, good wine and opera, and was a 
passionate gardener.
  Harry Lewis was predeceased by his beloved wife, Tanya (deLuise) 
Lewis (2001) and a son, Colin M. Lewis (2016), and is survived by his 
son, Kevin H. Lewis, his daughter Valerie Lewis Savoie, and 
grandchildren Derek and Connor Lewis, Isabelle and Duncan Lewis and 
Julia and Cael McCarthy. I appreciate his lifetime service to our 
community.
