Jerry Lewis Family ties, and correct information

Starting my first post. Hello Jerry Lewis Fans. I know we share sadness at our favorite star's passing. I am in process of writing a book. In the meantime, I want to write a few things now to correct some of the garbage that keeps cropping up.


Patti Palmer Lewis -- Jerry's first wife, born Esther Calonico in 1920 to Guiseppe Calonico and Mary Rotellini Calonico, may actually still be alive! Her last known whereabouts was in an assisted living center in Granada Hills, Los Angeles in the year 2014. Her son, Gary had visited her.

The two adopted son Ronald Stephan Lewis because Patti could not bear more children without surgery. His birthdate: December 29, 1949.

[ in between this and the next birth son, Jerry conceived a daughter Susan Kleinman, born to Lynn Dixon Kleinman about February 3, 1952. She now goes by Suzen Lewis.]

Surgery fixed problem, they delivered son Scott Anthony Lewis February 22, 1956.

Christopher Joseph Lewis was born in October 1957.

The final son with Patti was Joseph Christopher Lewis in January 7, 1964


Jerry's second wife, Sandee Pitnick has been listed as "a Las Vegas dancer," and that they had met in Las Vegas. This is poor research. They met when she auditioned and won the part of a dancer in Jerry's comeback film, "Hardly Working." She actually worked for Harkness Ballet Company (New York) and also as a stewardess. She was not born Sandee Pitnick -- this was her first husband's name. Sandra Sue Fulp was born in North Carolina about 1951, and married Harren Keith Pitnick on June 29, 1973. They divorced March 8, 1977. The brief marriage and its dissolution took place in Miami, Dade County, Florida. Harren Keith Pitnick died November 13 1990 and he was buried in a Jewish cemetery in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

She married Jerry Lewis on February 13, 1983, In Key Biscayne, Florida.


Danielle Sarah Lewis was born March 23 1992, and adopted by the two. Right now, her age is about 25 and 6 months.
