Got to know Lynn just a few years ago. In that short time it became obvious he was a truly generous and kind person. He always made me laugh and I usually learned something useful. May his gentle soul Rest In Peace. Prayers for his family

Eulogy for Lynn Robert Eisenhauer
Good afternoon. My name is Joel Fastow. I am both honored and humbled to have been asked to speak to you about my friend and colleague Lynn Robert Eisenhauer who I have known over the past 2 decades. Lynn had a slow and deliberate approach that some people criticized, but those who knew him were aware that he was always plotting and had a far greater understanding of issues at hand than he was given credit. Lynn’s journey around the sun had many ruts in the road but it did not affect his generous and kind nature.
He loved his family, his friends, and his work.
I first met Lynn during a company orientation. Lynn was conducting one of his infamous training seminars. Having been a teacher myself, I recognized his ability to take complex concepts and make them simple. His presence was larger than life.... In one instance he took a cast iron
door closer and slammed it to the floor. The action had the desired effect. You should have seen the audience jump! It sure woke people up. He then went on to ask the audience if any of them flew on a cast iron plane. Of course not. His point was to show that aluminum was as
strong and durable as the competitor’s cast iron product.
His seminars were in such demand that he eventually took his show on the road dragging his little dog and pony show around the country, educating customers with his unique teaching style. I respected Lynn’s product knowledge and experience so much that when I switched employers, I contacted him and convinced him to come work with me. His years of experience were put to the test as he single-handedly developed templates and installation instructions for many of the products that were being offered. His efforts led to fewer mistakes and as a result cost savings, as well as creating templates that rivaled our competitors.
Lynn loved to work with his hands and the combination of product experience and mechanical abilities made him the go to guy to resolve product and installation issues at our customer’s projects. He always had the right tool for the job. In several cases Lynn’s mechanical aptitude identified changes that would improve the product. But more importantly he was able to pinpoint Installation errors which in most cases he would personally correct at no charge to the customer. Having Lynn go to a job site provided reassurance that the customer would always be taken care of.
As we stated earlier, Lynn moved at a slow deliberate pace. This totally contrasted his love for speed and cars. A true gear head, he had more cars in various states of repair than anyone I knew. I always teased him about the number of vehicles he had, and the cost to insure them. One of them was his pristine Shelby Mustang which he had on blocks in his garage. It looked like it just came out of the showroom. Lynn's mechanical skills served him well, working on his car as well as those of his many friends. No matter what the request, Lynn could be counted on to help. When I needed a water heater or sod picked up and delivered, Lynn was there for me. He always had a pickup truck in some state of repair that could be used. His generous, giving nature never failed his family or his friends. Lynn Robert Eisenhauer will truly be missed, but never forgotten.
May he RIP.

The memories are many. We offer our deepest condolences to the entire Eisenhauer family. Rest in peace dear friend!

Lynn was a good friend and respected colleague. His knowledge of door hardware was well known throughout the industry. That and his love of cars. He always had a project restoring or just puttering with his many toys. One of his loves was his beach house in Delaware, where he found peace and tranquility. I will miss Lynn's humor and intellect. He will be sadly missed, but never forgotten. RIP.
