Leonard Endriukaitis Obituary

Leonard Paul Endriukaitis, formerly of Cicero, Illinois passed away suddenly at his home in Merrimack, NH at the age of 45. He was a big man with a big heart who liked to make people laugh. Whether he was doing an impersonation or reciting a funny line from a favorite movie, he was always entertaining. His passions included rock music, golf, baseball and football. Even after living in New Hampshire for 10 years, he remained loyal to the White Sox and the Bears. Lenny attended St Anthony's Catholic Grammar School and J. Sterling Morton H.S. After high school he enlisted in the Army where he served for 3 years. Returning from the service he worked several jobs most notably at the Chicago Board of Trade and as a Finance Manager in the automotive industry. Leonard's passing has found many asking, why him, why now? The answer is in God's hands. He has a plan for Lenny, were sure of it. Our lives are better for knowing him and we are grateful for the time we had with him. He is preceded in death by his father George, Sr., and is survived by his beloved wife Naomi, (nee Walton), stepson Ethan Walton, loving son to Regina, beloved brother to George Jr. (Phyllis), Kastytis (Lucia), Gina (Sandra), Algird (Patricia), and Joseph (Donna). He was a Loving Uncle to Nephews Andrew, Adam, Eric, Alec and Mitchell and Nieces Lauren and Emily. A memorial service will be held on Saturday February 7th at Petkus Funeral Home, 12401 S. Archer Ave., Lemont, 9am to 11am. Interment St. Casimir Lithuanian Cemetery, Chicago.

Naomi,
I am so sorry and shocked to hear about Lenny. I had no idea. In the past few days something kept urging me to get in touch with you so I called DSG to see if they had your phone number they told me about Lenny's heart attack. I am so sorry. If there is anything I can do to help please contact me. I am not working right now so I am totally available anytime if you ever need anyone to talk to.
