Ted was born Aug. 24, 1929, the son of E.W. Lewis and Therese (Kelly) Lewis.

He attended Bronxville (N.Y.) High School. At Princeton he held the Class of 1894 Scholarship, majored in psychology and English, and was in Theatre Intime, the psychology club, and WPRU. He roomed with Mort Courier, John Gayner, and Francis Kurtz and belonged to Terrace.

Ted received his medical degree in 1956 from NYU Medical School and interned at the Navy hospital in Camp Pendleton, Calif., where he met Bernadine Pietraschke. They were married Sept. 13, 1958. Ted did his residency in pediatrics at New York’s Bellevue Hospital and a third-year fellowship in pediatric cardiology.

He returned to California in 1962 to join the Gallatin Medical Group in Downey, where he practiced pediatrics for 33 years until his retirement in 1995. He also was clinical professor of pediatrics at the USC School of Medicine. During his later years Ted underwent, as he described it, “skeletal repair and retrofitting” (two hips and a renovated lumbar spine).

Ted died July 25, 2010, and is survived by Bernadine; daughters Lisa Incollingo and her sons, Robert, Joseph, and Gregory, and Julie Lovejoy and her daughter, Annalise; and by his sister, Barbara Irmischer.
