Lee A Fensin

August 3, 1944 - January 27, 2021

Lee A. Fensin, January 27, 2021 age 76, of Waukesha, Wisconsin. Loving husband of Marsha Fensin (nee Gelbart). Adoring father of Scott S. Fensin and Lori M. Fisher. Doting grandfather of Alex J. Fisher, Arielle S. Fisher, Ivie C. Fensin, Aubree S. Fisher, and Reda Fensin. Chiding brother of Kenneth (Cindy) Fensin. Further survived by other family and friends. Lee was born August 3, 1944 in Chicago, Illinois. He attended South Shore High School and the University of Illinois. He spent his entire professional career as the Sports Editor at the Waukesha Freeman for 48 years. He taught all who knew him the following: 1. All jokes are funny provided you select the right audience 2. Laughter is medicinal and spiritually uplifting. 3. Trying to grab the bill away from him after a family meal out risked losing an arm 4. The most important word in the term "community newspaper" is the first word 5. One doesn't deserve anything--one earns. 6. Grammar police is an honorable professional pursuit. The minimum sentence in kangaroo court for misusing there, their, or they're should be 2-5 minutes of public ridicule. 7. Have dessert first 8. Being nice, kind, thoughtful, genuine, generous, and selfless takes very little effort and comes around in spades. 9. Anyone who wants to know the true meaning of "love" need only study his nearly 52 years of marriage, 49 years of being a parent, and 19 years of being a grandparent. Lee did everything god put him on earth to do. His memory will be a blessing to all who knew him. Lee's favorite sports team was the Chicago Cubs. I know he'd want to share with everyone he knew the wisdom of former Cubs manager Joe Maddon: "Try Not To Suck."
