William T. Ensor, age 77 of Medina, went to be with our Lord August 29, 2015. He passed away peacefully at Hospice of Medina County surrounded by his family.

Bill was born on February 12, 1938 in Towson, Maryland to the late Truman and Evelyn (Segafoose) Ensor. His family moved to Buffalo, then to Cleveland where he grew up. He graduated from Cleveland Heights High school and went on to receive a bachelors in Business from Bowling Green University in 1960.

During his senior year of college he was offered and accepted a position with IBM. After working for IBM for 27 years he took an early retirement and went on to work for multiple companies selling IBM computers until he fully retired in 2003.

Bill married Carol J. Smith, his college sweetheart, June 17, 1961. They moved to Lakewood, Bay Village, and Canton, Ohio, then to Rochester, Minnesota, and finally settled in Medina, Ohio in 1977. They had recently celebrated their fifty-second anniversary when Carol passed in 2013.

After retirement Bill put great time and effort into researching the genealogy of his family. Through contacts he made and places he visited he collected enough information to write a book. He enjoyed traveling and taking vacations with his family. Continuing a tradition from his parents, the family spent time every summer in Ocean City, Maryland.

He was a longtime member of Medina United Methodist Church and Harvest Presbyterian Church where he enjoyed various men's' Bible study groups.

Bill is survived by his loving children Robert, (Lisa) of Sheffield Lake, Ohio, Susan (Kenneth) Picklesimer, of Cleveland, and Karen (Robert) Youngs, of Toledo, Ohio. He is also survived by six grandchildren, Noah, Jacob, Carol Ann, Evan, Jason, and Ryan; and one great-granddaughter Hailyn; his dear friend and companion Frances Ryan of Wadsworth; and sister Carolyn Barry of California.

His strength and compassion, when taking care of his wife through her struggle with cancer, was an uplifting and powerful example to his family of his love and faith. After suffering a stroke in 2014, Bill was determined to regain his mobility and independence. He unfortunately lost his battle with Leukemia before he had reached his goal. He will be sorely missed.

Services will be held on Wednesday, September 2nd, at 10:30am, at Waite & Son Funeral Home, 765 N. Court St., Medina. Dr. David Wallover will officiate. Burial will be at Spring Grove Cemetery in Medina. The family will receive friends from 3:00 - 5:00 PM and 6:00 - 8:00 PM on Tuesday, September 1st, at the funeral home.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Hospice of Medina County, 5075 Windfall Road, Medina, OH 44256.
