Word reached us today that Leonard Parker has died at age 90 after a long illness.
Parker, an architect, designed several iconic buildings including the Humphrey Center, the Minneapolis Convention Center, an addition to the Minneapolis Institute of Art, and the Minnesota Judicial Center (an awesome combination of integrating the old with the new). He also worked on the Gateway Arch in St. Louis.
He could carry a tune, too, as this video from January showed:
The funeral will be held at Temple Israel at 12:30 on Wednesday.
