Ed was born in Shelton to the late John and Domicela (Skiba) Lenkowski. He was a retired foreman for Josephson Bag & Canvas Awning Company. Ed was an avid car enthusiast and in later years, especially enjoyed his Beam Bottle car collection.
Ed was a gentle, affectionate and caring man who was very much loved by all. During his time at Benchmark's Split Rock he made many new friends, who he shared many a laugh with. He always had kind words for his caregivers and staff and in turn they brightened his days with smiles, hugs and "smooches."
He is survived by his beloved daughter and son-in-law, Cindi Lenkowski Ramos and Manny Ramos of Stratford; and several nieces and nephews. In addition to his wife and parents, he was predeceased by his brother, Joseph Lenkowski and his sister, Helen Felinski.

I always chatted with Ed when I visited my Dad at Split Rock. He was always smiling and so pleasant. I missed seeing him when he moved to the Harbor. May your fond memories of your Dad help to comfort you.

Regards, Sue Oviatt
