Larry L. Lenk, 73, of Madison, Ohio, passed away peacefully Tuesday morning August 9, 2016 at the David Simpson Hospice House in Cleveland. He was born in Painesville to Theresa (Robinson) and J. John Lenk on August 1, 1943, and married the love of his life, Sandra Sinko, August 11, 1962.
Larry graduated from Riverside high school and enlisted in the Air Force where he was stationed in Spain. When he returned home, Larry began working at the old Bailey Meter Company in Wickliffe (now known as ABB) and he worked his way through college and earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Lakeland College. There are too many triumphs and great stories to recount. In the experience of Larry’s life, it is safe to say and most certain, that he always put family first and was a most loyal and dedicated husband, father and brother.
He is survived by his loving wife of 54 years, Sandra; son, Tim Lenk; daughter, Melanie (James) Schulte; brothers, Jerry (Dayle) Lenk, Dennis (Carol) Lenk, and Dan (Kae) Lenk. He is preceded in death by his parents.
