Len was a great mentor for those of us who were involved with the NALC. His expertise, which he was willing to share, saved both jobs and pay for many. My condolences to the family.

Dear Lu,
So sorry to hear about your loss. The 2nd ward has lost a valuable source of information and advice from our good friend Len Driscoll. I have know doubt that Mayor Doyle has met him at the gates of Heaven and asked Len volunteer for the welcoming committee. May he rest in peace and sleep the sleep of the just in the light of Gods true love.
