The Naperville Park District is hosting a ceremony at 4 p.m. Tuesday to honor the late Glen Ekey, former executive director known for his love of recreation, golf and the outdoors.
The park district flourished under Ekey s leadership from 1981 to 1996, officials said, resulting in the preservation of open space, the development of community partnerships and the creation of facilities such as the Naperbrook Golf Course, where the driving range is now named after him. The Naperville resident also is credited for bringing the idea for Ribfest to the Exchange Club of Naperville.
