Len E Jordan

Len was born in 1935 to Leonard Sr. and Olive (Tews) Jordan in St. Paul, Minnesota. His parents owned and operated a small grocery store in downtown St. Paul where Len and his sisters, Ivernia (Bunni) and Jordalyn built many of their childhood memories. Len contracted polio as a young boy of only ten years old. While doctors reported that he’d never walk again, Len exceeded everyone’s expectations, and despite his physical limitations, went on to spend many years living a very full and active life. After completing his technical education in printing at Dunwoody Technical Institute, Len married, Patricia Holliday in 1957. Together they raised four children, Tami, Jeff, Scott and Linda in Roseville, Minnesota. Len was an active father who introduced all of his children to his love of the great outdoors. Fond memories include hunting, fishing, gardening and spending many summer weeks canoeing and camping in his favorite Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA), or on dog-trial weekends with his beloved Brittany Spaniel, Jordy’s Cinderella Girl. Len worked in the Twin Cities print industry for many years, and always loved boasting about the latest typesets and color press advancements. In 1997 Len married his beloved, Marlene Krumrie. Together with Marlene’s son, Bob, they travelled the back roads of Minnesota (particularly the North Shore) camping and visiting family friends, worshipping at North Heights Lutheran Church, and enjoying all the grandchildren. Len was deeply proud of all of his children; his two son in-laws, Rick and Harry; and his seven beautiful grandchildren, Tyler, Andrew, KateLynn, Noah, Joseph, Ellyn and Michael. Each one has special stories to tell about fun times with Grandpa Len. While life presented numerous challenges (opportunities for growth!) to Len throughout his years, he NEVER gave in and NEVER gave up! He loved his family and friends with gusto, persevered through every obstacle, and never ever lost faith in his Lord God. It was only very recently when he was diagnosed with the rare disease of Amyloidosis did Len choose to peacefully let go of his time on earth, and enter the kingdom of his Lord, Jesus Christ on June 27, 2014. A memorial service will be held on Friday, July 11th at North Heights Lutheran Church, Roseville Campus at 2:00 pm. Visitation one hour prior to the service at the church.
