We raise our children giving them vague examples of what we wish they grow up to be like. We need to pick characteristics from many individuals to build the person we'd like them to become. Dr. Lenchewski incorporated all the elements of a wonderful, warm, compassionate, endearing, funny, intelligent, humanitarian in one soul.  When I met him I felt I had finally come upon the true example of what a man should be, a true mensch.  As I got to know him I realized more and more how right I was.  No one who met him was not touched by the greatness of this man.  When I look at my children my prayer is that they will grow up to become half of the person he has been.  Dr. Lenchewski, it was my honor, my privilege and my very great stroke of luck to have met and known you. You will reside in my heart forever as a special doctor, man and friend.

Please accept my sincere condolences. Enrique was an amazing kind man. My children were patients of his and he took amazing care of them. He was so caring and dealt with them in such a wonderful way. He will be missed. Lori Golden

Enrique Z"L, que se puede decir de este amigo tan querido, no me alcanzaría este lugar para describir a una excelente persona, proveniente de una familia de grandes valores.  Enrique fue un gran amigo, un excelente padre, marido, hijo, hermano, etc. etc.  Querido, en todo el mundo.  Lo vamos a extrañar mucho.  Por suerte tenemos todos buenos recuerdos que nos harán sobrellevar su pérdida.  Solo me queda decir: "Life goes on although good people dies"  Un gran abrazo para toda la familia desde Montevideo, Uruguay.  Sonia

We will always remember Enrique as a charming and engaging man.  Not to mention, handsome, of course. He will be missed by all that knew and loved him.  Our thoughts are with you all at this very difficult time.  Andi and Rick Dinerstein from Utica
