Known to all as "Coach Ray," he taught 8th grade math and coached football, girls and boys basketball, and track. When he retired, Lewis said that of all he had accomplished in his 32 years of teaching and coaching, he was proudest of his having taught all three of his daughters, and his teams winning two Girls Basketball District Championships.
Following his retirement in 1992, Lewis and Helen returned to Hamilton, Texas, where they enjoyed spending time with their extended family, their children, and their grandchildren.
