Lew worked for me for about 8 years. He did a terrific job both with customers and fellow employees. I am sure this is a loss to Glenwood Springs.

I understand there are two sides to every story and won't presume to understand the entire situation. With this said, I have been dealing with Lew for three years, and in this time, I have found him to be a customer oriented and very friendly, knowledgeable and hard working guy. Because of this, I have come to consider Lew as a friend. Based on what I have heard regarding his, and Craig's dismissals, I truly hope that there will be some insight as to what has happened here. The loss of Lew at the rec center really is a larger loss, as a whole, to the community visiting it.

Lew was the back bone of the hockey community. He always aimed to accommodate all teams and meet people where they were. He was present for each of us, would make time to meet and hear our questions or concerns.. the hockey community in Glenwood has always been fantastic. I have skated sense it first opened and I have not seen a more fun group of people playing on the teams and playing at drop in. Who was instrumental in keeping the fun and building the tight hockey community. Bring back the man who ran the rink.. get rid of the corporate venue.. this is a community center.. it serves we the people the men woman and families who love skating.. Remember city of Glenwood you are all public servants. Lew did just that and we all had fun.

I support the reinstatement of Lew Grant, he was a great asset of the community center and ice rink.
I don't support current management decisions that appear to be driven by personal egos rather than by what is best for the community.
Very disappointing.

Glenwood Springs has the worst ice rink out of all the neighboring communities. Its embarrassing, and now its also a soap opera... awesome!

GSCC just lost such a dedicated, hard working employee. Lew went above the call of duty for GSCC because he loved his job and his community. I guess terminating employees like Lew is what GSCC management does when they feel threatened.

So I'm going anonymously because after the dealings with Lew and Craig I can't say my identity because I've seen the way Tom Barnes works. After witnessing the dismissal of Lew and Craig I can honestly say tom Barnes can't be trusted, he seems to want a yes man and a I say jump you say how high man. I beleive that Lew and Craig for that matter have both been maliciously fired due to somebody's inflated ego. I also beleive that Matt Kraemer has always had an agenda against Lew grant and has been gunning for his job for awhile. Any action from the city needs to not only involve giving Lew a fair trail but also investigate these two in there actions that lead to the dismissal of Lew grant. Again I remain anonymous because I'm afraid of what tom Barnes could and so far has been allowed to do to others careers in this city

A more honest hardworking person you will not find. His termination is a disgrace. I guess this is what happens when you speak truth to power.

Lew took the time to get me on a team that best suited my ability, when I broke my leg Lew called me at the hospital to see if I was "ok". To me that's going above and beyond your job responsibilities.

Lee has always been very kind and fair with his dealings concerning the rink. Having an open mind and logical approach to any situation is always a good thing to have

Lew was not the problem. Tom Barnes is! The policies are! You don't have to look hard to see that. Thanks for screwing a good thing. The new facilities were supposed to improve things. The decisions this season have certainly not.

Lew has shown dedication to promoting hockey and the GS Recreation Center.
He was instrumental in completing the remodeling of the rink to make it a very pleasant place to paly hockey and was flawless in his organization of rec hockey.
We question this arbitrary dismissal

Over the past 8 years I have been playing hockey I have had nothing but positive experiences with Lew. The abrupt firing and lack of communication with the players who have known Lew for years and knew him as the face of the rink shows a lack of respect to the customers of the rink not to mention Lew.

I'm on the ice at least 4 days a week with different teams and drop ins. Lew's dismissal has been a topic of discussion many times. The overwhelming reaction is negative. He's the glue that kept our leagues together and running smoothly. He also always has a smile when you walk through the doors. It's obvious he's passionate about hockey and our community. Bring Lew Back!

Lew was instrumental in keeping our men's league team (FUBAR) on the ice this year. We had several players that could not play this year and Lew was in constant communication with our team and other players in the league to help keep our team afloat. Without his dedication to the players and league management, myself and others, would not be on the ice this year. Thank you Lew for all your hard work, you deserve better.
