I worked with Len for many years on the Homer Glen Planning Commission, he was a wonderful and giving man. He will be dearly missed. I am so sorry for the Drnec family.

Our deepest sympathy to the Drnec family. For over 25 years we were greeted by Len at the 4:30 mass. Our son grew up seeing and saying hello to Len. He will be truly missed.

Our prayers and thoughts go out to the Drnec family. We will miss Len as "our" usher at the 4:30 Saturday masses. He always had a welcome, smile, and handshake for us.
