| Today's News-Herald, Lake Havasu City, AZ >>> Published on Wednesday, February 22, 2017 <<< Lewis Frank Pacific, 84, passed away peacefully at his home in Lake Havasu City Feb. 7, 2017. He was born to Frank and Helen Pacifico April 14, 1932 in Detroit. In his early years, Lewis worked in his father’s neighborhood grocery store. Another family business found him helping his dad handcraft carpenter levels out of a small shop in Roseville, Michigan. As a high schooler, he attended the distinguished Cass Tech college prep where he studied drafting and tool making. In 1953, Lewis married Dolly Durham. Together they raised their five children in Riverside, California except for the three years they spent abroad in Australia. As a tool and die maker, Lewis was a lifetime member of the Huntington Beach IAMAW Machinist Union. Lewis also owned and operated two different fast food restaurants, one in Riverside and the other in Corona, California. Upon his retirement at the Boeing Company, Lewis and Dolly settled into the good life in Lake Havasu City. Always the ever-present father and husband, Lewis’s passion was watching his sons play sports; he never missed a game and often attended practices. In his later years, he most enjoyed spending quality time relaxing with his daughter, Pam. Lewis is preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Helen Pacifico and his oldest child, Louis. He is survived by his beloved wife of 64 years, Dolly Pacific, children: Pam Pacific, Frank Pacific, Daniel Pacific, Tim Pacific, 10 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. His beautiful smile and quiet compassion will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. Services were placed in the care of Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home.
