Lewis was born October 14, 1935 to the late Ruby Lewis Frisby and H.E. Frisby, Sr. of El Dorado. He was a life-long resident of Union County. Lewis graduated El Dorado High School in 1953 and was a member of First Baptist Church for 71 years. He was a 32 degree mason, CEO of H.L. Frisby Grilling Sauce Co. and a charter member of Morgan Thompson Hunting Club. He practiced general dentistry in Smackover, AR and El Dorado until his retirement in 1995. His biggest joy was going "hunting" every Friday to Mt. Camp, but really enjoyed being the camp boss. He loved spending time with his grandchildren, who he fondly nicknamed, Hammer, Hammer Bell, CC and Bo Jack, as well as any other child he met; he instantly assigned them their own nickname. For those of you who knew Dr. Frisby, you know he was a special kind of character and one of a kind. His bark was way worse than his bite but you always knew he would do exactly what he said he would do and most of the time exactly what he wanted to do! He had a kind heart and a numerous host of friends and no one that met him would ever forget him. He will always be our dad and forever be your Doc.
Preceding him in death are his parents and a brother H.E. Frisby, Jr.
Survivors include his children, Kelly Cook of El Dorado and Angela Cox (Dan) of Lowell, AR; Henry Lewis Frisby II (Terrie Stone) of El Dorado, Harvey Emmice "Trip" Frisby of El Dorado and four grandchildren, Kyle Cook of El Dorado, Haley Cook of Lowell, AR, Carter Cox of Lowell, AR and Jack Henry Frisby of Hot Springs, AR.
