He was enlisted in the United States Air Force and was trained as a navigator.

He is survived by his sons, Mark Gunning Brian Gunning, and his daughter, Janice Willing; one granddaughter, Josie Gunning; and niece, Pam Young.
Lewis is preceded in death by his parents Vernon and Anna Funning and his only sibling, Robert Gunning.
