Lewis Hemphill Fogle,Jr.'s Obituary
FOGLE
Lewis H. Fogle, Jr, was born June 3, 1919, in Canton, Ohio. His family moved to Miami in 1925. He graduated from Miami High and then from the University of Miami with a Bachelor of Economics cum laude and Juris Doctorate. While at UM, he served as president of Pi Kappa Alpha and as an Iron Arrow chief. He was a “Cane” through and through.
For over 60 years, he practiced law with a style and dignity few have ever seen. As a judge once remarked, “Lew Fogle isn’t an attorney, he is a scholar of the law.” He was, and shall always be, the standard by which a gentleman should be measured.
Lew was a loving husband, father, uncle, and grandfather, and for those of us who knew and loved him, our lives were better for it.
He was pre-deceased by his loving wife of 63 years, Virginia Lee (“The Boss”), and daughter, Margaret Susan. He is survived by his son, Lewis H. Fogle,III, (Salty), granddaughter, Elizabeth Updike, and two grandsons, Christopher Fogle and Lewis H. Fogle, IV.
Memorial Services will be held at Christ the King Lutheran Church on Saturday, June 9, 2012, at 3 PM. In lieu of flowers, the family requests a donation to Christ the King Lutheran Church, 11295 Southwest 57th Avenue, Miami, Florida 33156.
