When peace returned in 1945 Lewis left his wartime work and returned to the Silver Studio. Lewis Jones and Frank Price were the only full time designers there then. In 1952 Rex Silver was planning to offer them both partnerships.
Lewis Jones had a heart condition, probably caused or aggravated by a lifetime of heavy smoking. He had medication to use when it troubled him, and he said that at times his heart "played boogie-woogie". He died quite suddenly of coronary thrombosis on 5
th February 1953 at the age of 58. He had been working just a few days earlier. Lewis is buried in North Watford Cemetery (Section A, Number 980) and his wife, Annie Francis Jones, was buried in the same plot when she died in March 1974.
The elder of his sons, Robert Albert Lewis Jones, served six years in the army, and Lewis attended his wedding to Una May Briggs at Wilford, Nottingham, in 1946. In 1952 Lewis Jones was able to see his first grandson Mark Lewis Jones. His younger son, Dennis Eric Jones, served with the Royal Air Force and trained to fly in Canada. He married Elizabeth Gentle at Brandon, Suffolk in 1953, and emigrated to Canada in 1956.
Neither of his sons directly followed their father's occupation, but both were involved in artwork. At the time of Lewis' death: Robert was doing general advertising artwork; and Dennis was a colour retoucher for photo-gravure printers. At their retirements: Robert was the art director of Davis Gibson Advertising, in London; and Dennis was Assistant Director at the McMichael Canadian Collection in Kleinburg, Ontario.
