Yes, the Mr. Mustache show will forever be engraved in my memory as one of the happier times in my life. Every Sunday, going to Mr Steak to get our sheets for the week, but never able to attend the show. But to be finally rewarded in meeting him in person through my friends and his son. Yes, Mr. Mustache is real my friends and is exactly how everyone portrays him as very out going and full of laughter. I will forever be apart of who I would like to be and remember! God Bless him and the Lewis family...although he has moved on his memories will forever remembered by all! Posted by: Greg Location: Rockford We were discussing his passing at work yesterday and the majority of people over 30 knew exactly who he was. Everyone had nothing but fond memories of him and his show. Mr. Mustache, Bruce Lewis, was an asset to the Rockford community and a cherished part of it's history.

Posted by: AaronB Location: Machesney aprk What a very special part of my childhood! I'm 49 now and I remember begging my parents to take us to "Mr Steak" to get the starter sheets. He made it fun and drawings easy, mailing them in then looking for my drawing on next weeks show! You are always in my memories, may God bless you and your family. Posted by: jeff Location: rockford I abosolutely love his show. I still can draw a cowboy that he drew on his show and have showed my children. I'm 45 and he was a great source of entertainment when I was growing up. He will be sorely missed. He was one of a kind. Posted by: Jay DiBenedetto Location: Winnebago, IL Mr. Mustache recently drew pictures for guests at my wedding and was a huge hit! When I was a young boy I was a guest on his show too. He was part of the Rockford culture from the 30 somethings around Rockford and his passion for art was infectious. Posted by: Kerry Location: Machesney Park I remeber him from when I was a child, and he will be missed. |
