Hewett became a lawyer, working on the corporate side in Toronto. At that time, the only Law School in Ontario was at Osgoode Hall. He graduated from this school. He lived with his parents at 235 St. Clair Avenue West; then when JEB died in 1931, they moved to 219 Forest Hill Road where he lived with his mother until she passed. Late in life, he married Ev, who was his mother's nurse. They had no children.

An avid golfer, he had two holes-in-one, both, as he would readily tell anyone, representing miracles. It could be said neither hole-in-one was a good shot, both shots carooming wildly of off an adjacent sidehill on a short par-3 into the hole. He enjoyed cigars, a stiff Scotch and a tall tale. Guests, like us, were treated to steaks in the dining room on special occasions such as Easter and Christmas.

He was best known for his moustache and convivial demeanour. He had an old pigeon-hole desk out of which he would conduct most of his business affairs. This desk was kept upstairs in his study. In this desk or nearby, he kept the Family Bible, the index of which contained the crucial birth, marriage and deaths of our North Carolinian ancestors; also meticulously kept in this Bible were several old Confederate flags.

He had a game right leg, suffering from gout. He kept this leg outstretched when it bothered him. He would never complain of any pain as a point of honour.
