William Lennig Obituary

William "Bill" Lennig

William "Bill" Lennig, 78, of Findlay, passed away Tuesday, Sept. 12, 2023.

Bill was born Aug. 7, 1945, in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, to William H. and Louise (Crum) Lennig. While attending the House of Prayer in Aliquippa, Bill's parents introduced him to the love of his life, Emily Parrish. They were married July 9, 1966, and she survives in Findlay.

Bill is also survived by his loving children, Kimberly (Mike) Diaz, William Scott (Kathleen) Lennig, and Amy (Donnie) Webster; loving pappy of, Joshua, Allison, Emma, Rick, Jonathan, McKenna, and Devin; great-pappy, Sasha, Spencer, Lilly, Kyler, and Calliopea; and sister, Carolyn McCaffrey.

He was preceded in death by his parents; and brother-in-law, Frank McCaffrey.

Bill attended Robert Morris University and then enrolled at Ohio Northern University, where he obtained his Bachelors Degree in Accounting. After graduating from Ohio Northern, Bill took a job at Marathon Oil Company, Findlay, where he worked in the accounting department, retiring in 1999 after 33 years of service. Bill was a member of St. John's Lutheran Church, Findlay. Bill and Emily were inseparable. They enjoyed playing couples volleyball, dancing clubs, and a good game of pinochle. Bill also enjoyed playing a good game of golf and bowling. Bill devoted his life to his family. He helped coach their baseball and softball teams as well as being at all their extracurricular activities. Bill had a great sense of humor. He was energic, spunky, and always had a joke to share. He was the life of the party and was willing to help anyone in a time of need. He had a contagious smile that would light up a room and made friends with anyone he came in contact with.
