Bruce Lee Hewlett, 62, died January 30, 2011 in New York, NY. Born in Watertown, NY, Mr. Hewlett graduated from Knox Memorial High School in Russell, NY and SUNY, Canton, NY.

Mr. Hewlett was an avid outdoorsman.

His other interests included music of all genres, stock car racing, motocross, motorcycles and most recently racing sailboats off Long Island.

Mr. Hewlett was a member of Lansdowne Lodge 711, F&AM, where he served as Master in 1993.
