Beloved Local Realtor 'Shows Up' For Community

HUNTLEY, ILLINOIS— Without community leaders, Huntley wouldn’t hum along nearly as smoothly as it does. We’d miss their contributions in big and small ways.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize these often unsung community leaders and celebrate their contributions.

This submission comes from Jerry and Cynthia Schaefer, Huntley readers, who nominated Robert Panek.

He is a realtor, but he is one of the most involved people in this community. He shows up for almost every event in town to support local residents
