Karl Lenz

we think of Karl often and remember what a great friend he was to Lee. and his great sense of humor...he is in our thoughts and prayers as is his family..he is truly missed.

we will always remember Karl ...We say a prayer for him every Friday night when we light our Sabbath candles.We ask God to watch over him and comfort his family.

Peggy, BJ, and Peter, Beth and I are so saddened to hear about Karl. I often think of all of you and have so many great memories of Karl (mostly Canadian fishing trips of course). Karl, the bear cub chaser, the only one who would wake me at 3am to see northern lights, and the guy who found my wedding ring on the bottom of the Kayedon River hours after I had lost it... and had the nerve and humor to hand me a bottle cap first ("is this your ring?"). I miss him, and all of you, and lift you up...

Our deepest condolences to Peggy, BJ and the entire Lenz family. Karl was the best man at my first wedding and even lived with us for a short time. I always found Karl to be incredibly smart and fiercely loyal to those he loved. He was a genuine free spirit and found every opportunity to travel and experience the world....his was a life lived to its’ fullest. Our hearts go out to all those that loved Karl.

Karl was the funniest person to ever sit at a bar stool. There was no better time to be had than during an Ohio game on Saturdays with him and seeing him and Chewey waving from the window during my shifts cheered me up. He was such a comfort. Even after he moved, he always cared enough to check in. He will be missed but warmly remembered by memories that make me crack a smile.

Karl,
Thank you for your uncanny wit and your unfailing heart.

Dear Peggy and family, we are so sorry for your loss. We never met Karl but felt we knew him through your
stories and life updates. His obituary describes a unique personality and like my sons an Ottawa Hills graduate. We are thinking of you today and will follow the memorial service. Our heartfelt condolences, your friends Denise and Denny Sawan
