He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Lorraine; his beloved son, Paul Deworocki and his wife, Kristine; his grandson, Landon; his sister, Loretta Trapani and her husband, Frank, as well as several nieces, nephews, cousins, many friends and loyal neighbors, whom he considered family.

Len came on the job when I was just two years old. I met him when I joined TPD in 1985. He showed up to a few crime scenes I was assigned to. He asked questions and I usually had the answers he needed. He was well regarded by his peers and supervisors as a good detective who was dedicated to doing right by the people of the city of Trenton.

He was personable and helpful to me as a young boot. He was a good officer and human being. I’m happy that he had a long retirement and hope he enjoyed that time with his family and friends. That’s what’s really important at the end of the day.

May God welcome him with open arms to his eternal reward and grant his family and friends solace during their time of loss.
