Lorenz Menrath

I spoke to Lorenz in September and we talked about our daughters successes and goals in life. He spoked so proudly of his girls. He will be missed.
Here is a prayer I like.
"Yet, O LORD, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hand." ~Isaiah 64:8

Days spent playing Skittle Bowl and Sports Illustrated football tournaments (all before video games!) are fond memories, and Lorenz was a big part of them all. His sense of fairness and good sportsmanship were always on display. Even though I have not spoken with Lorenz for many years, his presence will be...

Lorenz was a professional colleague of nearly 22 years. More importantly, he was a friend. I often looked to Lorenz for advice and guidance....many times taking him into confidence regarding professional and personal matters. I always knew he could be counted on for perspective and guidance.

Lorenz was a beloved cousin, a great son, a caring husband and loving father, as well as a remarkable professional. I remember him as a gentle and caring man, always eager to help. Ethic, supportive and hard working, he will remain as a model in our family.
