Lewis Kuppermann, 88, of Manlius, passed away on September 13, 2021, in Syracuse, NY. Lewis was a wonderful and beloved husband, father, Zaydie, brother, uncle and friend.

Lewis was born on May 1, 1933 in Syracuse, NY to Hiram and Nellie(Tobias) Kuppermann. He studied at Syracuse University and had a successful career in retail leading him to own Winters, an exclusive men's store. Lewis loved the rag business. After closing Winters, Lewis had a second successful career in the temporary staffing business. He loved being a part of the Syracuse business community. Lewis married the love of his life, Anita Strausman; they had a wonderful life raising their two sons. Upon his retirement, Lewis became even more involved in the local community, including starting the Manlius Informed Lecture Series. He was an engaged and interested member of the greater Syracuse community, an avid daily reader of the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, a lover of SU sports, and a connoisseur of all things Jewish deli, especially Zabar's. Lewis was one of the greatest characters you could ever meet, he was eager to participate in conversation with all and he will be greatly missed.

Lewis is survived by his wife of 65 years, Anita, two sons, Andrew and Brett (Diane), four grandchildren, Alex, Elana, Glenn and Leah, brother, Ellison, and many wonderful nieces, nephews and cousins.
