ROBERT WILSON LEWIS JR., retired attorney and resident of S. Pasadena for more than 30 years, died Sept. 17, 1991. After graduation from Princeton and then Harvard Law School, he earned certification to plead cases before the Supreme Court. He practiced law in N.Y.C. and Worcester, Mass., prior to WWII. After wartime service in the Navy, he did graduate work at Columbia and became a specialist in law library operations. For several years thereafter he managed the library of O'Melveny and Myers in Los Angeles and later became a consultant on law libraries. Following retirement he devoted himself to public affairs and to animal welfare. He never married. He is survived by two nephews, David and Graham. To them we extend our sympathy.
