DR. WILLIAM EDWARD LENKAITIS

I went to Strongsville High School and played football with Billy before the family moved to Youngstown. A great player but even a greater person. Cant remember how many times he pancaked me in practice, but he always offered a hand up, and of course, that big grin of his. Love you Billy!

Dr. Bill, was my dentist as was my husband's. The best dentist I have ever had, he made me so relaxed that I was not scared to come to the dentist as others had made me.

Just came across this online, but knew from the office that he had passed away after we had moved away and then have returned.

Donna, we never had met, but you have a wonderful family and learned so much about his full career from this Obituary. I have just lost my husband Herbert Gagnon this past June 2018...

Donna, I can't believe I just ran across this and I feel so sorry for you. It sounds like you guys had a hell of a life however and I'm happy for that. Glad to see you got such a large family. God bless and sorry for bringing this up so late. Obviously still remember you both. Myfy and family send our love.

I had the great fortune to know the Lenkatis family when I was growing up in Strongsville, Ohio. I remember attending a picnic at his families home when I was ten years old.

I was deeply saddened as I read of Bill's passing in the Blue White magazine! Bill was my roommate at the FIJI lodge our junior year along with running back Roger Grimes and the late Ron Psaris. Many fond memories of Lenk during our fraternity years and I was always so impressed with his dedication to his studies and his lifelong dream of becoming a dentist. I still believe Lenk saved my life when we had a serious accident returning from an off campus party and the only reason we didn't roll...

I attended UT Dental school with Bill. He was a very nice, humble person. We were paired together in Oral Surgery. I was amazed at his size, strength, and manual dexterity. Good memories of a man I deeply respected. Howard L. Brownfield DDS

I just learned that Dr. Bill had passed away and I offer my deepest condolences to his family and friends. Bill was a wonderful man and the best dentist I'd ever had. I was lucky to know him for the 18 years he was my dentist. Always quick with a smile; just a wonderful person.

We will miss you Dr. Bill...
