Our beloved Grampa, Harold E. Levine, was a
man full of dignity and integrity, a real class
act. He served in the US Army in West Point
during World War II and was deeply involved
in supporting the State of Israel and helping
Soviet Jewry. Along with his wife, Phillis, he
gave of himself not just financially, but even
at personal risk, smuggling items in to the
USSR for the Jewish communities there and
serving in several voluntary programs in the
IDF. My Grampa lived life to the fullest, dis-
cerned the important things in life early on
and made sure never to lose that focus. He
supported his family and his grandchildren in
every way he could and took personal pride
in their achievements. Grampa had such
presence when he entered a room, a com-
pletely disarming manner. He would charm
anyone within minutes of meeting them.

Grampa taught his family and those who
knew him the value of patience and of really
respecting one another, the importance of
travel and openness to new experiences, and
how to keep learning. At age 96, the night
after Chanukah, Grampa passed away. The
light he brought into the world still shines
brightly through his loving wife of 67 years,
his 2 children, 9 grandchildren, 13 great-
grandchildren, and everyone else who knew
and loved him. Rest in peace, Grampa. You
live on in our hearts.
