Leonard Sojka Obituary


Jupiter, FL - Leonard E. Sojka "Len", 91, of Jupiter, Florida, passed away on February 16, 2021. He is survived by his devoted children, Leonard P. Sojka and Cindy A. Sojka. He is predeceased by his wife, Camilla L. Mullens. He is also predeceased by his siblings, Gertrude (John) Stepien, Marion (Angelo) Jaconetta, Rita (Francis) Benevides, Barbara (Richard) Carpenter, William (Judy) Sojka, Herbert (Ann) Sojka, Edmund (Nina) Sojka and Donald Sojka.

He was an engineering supervisor at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft both in Connecticut and West Palm Beach, Florida for over 40 years. Len was also the President of the St. Vincent DePaul Society of St. Jude's Church for 40 years where he volunteered his services to help people throughout our local community. Len was very involved in the St. Jude's parish where he served as a lector, usher and eucharistic minister. He was quick to volunteer to help out wherever he could and was a kind, warm person that made everyone feel special. He also had a wonderful sense of humor. He will be sorely missed by many.
