In the final years of his career before his 1985 retirement, Dr. Schlenhoff also practiced sports medicine.
"He played a lot of tennis, ran track and went to the gym. He was a martial-arts expert and got me into learning karate," Mr. Sweren said.
Dr. Schlenhoff was an accomplished, self-taught musician. "He was a great banjo picker and always finished off with a harmonica solo," Mr. Kaufman said.
FOR THE RECORD - An obituary published for Dr. Milton Schlenoff in Friday's editions of The Sun misspelled his surname.
The Baltimore Sun regrets the error.
He also liked playing jazz and klezmer, secular Jewish or Yiddish music.
A longtime Park Towers East resident, Dr. Schlenhoff was a dog lover, enjoyed reading and spent winters at a second home in Boynton Beach, Fla.
Dr. Schlenhoff's philanthropic interests included Associated Jewish Charities, United Jewish Appeal and the Jewish National Fund. He was a member of Beth El Congregation.
Services were Monday.
Also surviving are his wife of 56 years, the former Selma Weinstein; two daughters, Beth L. Schlenhoff of Bethesda and Susan R. Cassin of Baltimore; and four grandchildren.
