LEW NASSAD
by Sam Hane, SASS #28778


On July 3rd, 2009, my friend Lew Nassad, SASS Life Member #37788 passed from this vale of tears to a better place.

He was an honest curmudgeon with a heart of gold, and loved the Old West with delight and fervor. Due to his health
and financial issues, he was never able to compete, but he made every effort to attend Winter Range each year, and took
great delight in hanging about the merchant area leering at the pretty girls and generally just visiting with people
he liked and respected.

There was a conversation in a Certain Movie that need not be named here (everyone will recognize the dialog between Doc
Holliday and a bystander that went something like this:

Bystander: "Wyatt Earp has a lot of friends ...."

Holliday: "I don't."

That little byplay nails our friendship perfectly.

He was my friend, and I will miss him. Ride well, Brother. Smooth the path, because I'll be along eventually. And don't
you be hoggin' all the pretty girls!

Name to put in would be "Lew," not "Sam." I'm still kickin, he ain't unless he's kickin' Phin Flywheel (dscd) all over hellandgone.
