Cyril Dayton Lentz was born on September 30, 1937 to Harry and Florence (Carlson) Lentz in Coleridge, NE. He was baptized at Immanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church, Coleridge, NE and confirmed at Trinity Lutheran Church in Hartington, NE.
Cy went to country school, Branch District 14, through 8th grade and then attended Hartington High School where he graduated in 1954. He joined the Army and was stationed in Paris, France; working as a system programmer on the mainframe. After being honorably discharged, he attended college in Wayne, NE.
Cy worked for Cessna aircraft and later went to work for Kansas Nebraska Natural Gas. The company moved their headquarters to Lakewood, CO where he was the senior system software analyst until he retired in 1998.
Cy enjoyed all kinds of sports, dancing, especially the waltz and two step, camping, fishing, traveling 4 wheel drive roads with the Jeep, and photography. He spent hours going through the pictures we'd taken on our trips. Cy thoroughly enjoyed going to special destinations doing photo shoots. He created DVD's with music background to enjoy at a later time. Cy thoroughly enjoyed watching wildlife, feeding the humming birds and tending to his beautiful flowers.
Cy will be deeply missed by all of his family, relatives and many friends.
Dearly loved and forever in our hearts.
