Dear Family—Robert Barnett and myself, Juanita, met your father in the mid 70"s. Robert was an air traffic comtroller (40 yrs old) at D.F.W. and had a heart attack. We lived in Bonham, at the time, but I took him to Plano General hospital, thankgoodness. We got your Dad, don't know why, he was probably new man on the block, but it started a Dr. patient relationship of over 30 years, until Robert died in 2000. I will never forget the first time I had a talk with Dr. Enke. He had taken a lot of test on Robert, and came to talk to the family. WELL when he finished I had not a clue what he had said. I waited by the back door, thinking he would leave by that door. Well he did, and I told him I had not understood a word he said, what was going on with my husband. He got within 3 inches of my face and told me I had a heart patient, go home learn the words and deal with it. NOW I was 37 and a southern girl and had never been spoken to like that, this man must be from N.Y.!!!!!! We had 30 yrs of life and love we shared because of your DAD, be proud of what he did for people. We have 2 other friends that went to him, because of the success he had with Robert. All I can say at this time, is I am sorry. We shared his life, we thank you for this Juanita P.S. The last time I saw your Dad, was 2000 when I went to the office to thank him for his work. At one time I made him a quilted heart wall hanging. Had thought he would put it in his office, as we were checking out Dr. Enke went out the door with it under his arm.
Dr. Enke was my Physician, then a friend for 24 years. A gracious man, a dedicated doctor, and someone I could count on to give good advice and a caring welcome to every visit. Dr. Enke was on call, one cool November day, a Saturday at 1PM, and saved my life, when all hope was gone. I remember every detail. Now I cannot do the same for him, so God rest his soul, and peace be with his family. I still give thanks every day for my life, and his wise practice of medicine. I will miss our shop talk, and his smiling face. Thanks for sharing your father and grandfather with me. Bill Matheny

Dr. Enke was a good doctor and a kind and gentle man. We miss him here at Legacy and I know you miss him terribly as well. He is at peace now. Sondra York
I first met Dr. Enke in 1978 when my husband and I moved to Plano from Massachusetts. From that moment on, he was my doctor until he retired from Legacy Heart Center. He was a great doctor, and we always shared stories about our families. My thoughts and prayers with Amanda, Barbara and Elizabeth, as well as the rest of his family. He will be greatly missed.
Dr. Enke was a wonderful physician that I learned very much from. It was an honor working with him. My sincere condolences to his family. He spoke of them often, and loved them very much.
Barb, Lance, and family, Words are not enough to express how heartily sorry I am for your loss. I was touched going through your memory books on Friday with you and Alice, hold onto the good times and memories. I love you all, Dana Forthman
My condolences to Dr.Enke's family.His love will be with you forever and never forget the great times you share with him. May GOD keep you all in his loving arms.
We will miss you at our Monday night parties, especially Courtney. You were so kind to me and always threw my ball, she says with a soulful Woof, Woof. Your love for your sweet Elizabeth came through loud and clear and now you are together for all eternity. I'll miss the twinkle in your eye, the smile on your face, but am consoled to know you'll always be a guest in my kitchen. Love, C.
