Lee S. Levinson (02/05/1925-04/28/2021)
Lee lived with honesty, integrity, and a very
dry wit. He passed away with his family at his
side. Lee was born in Chicago, IL, to Mollie
Slott and Charles Levinson. At the age of
eight, his family moved to New York City for
his mother's position with the Chicago
Tribune New York Syndicate Newspapers. As
a result, Lee and his older brother, Bill, led an
extraordinary life surrounded by cartoonists,
media executives, and notable national
columnists. Lee graduated Townsend Harris
High School in Manhattan at the age of fif-
teen. He attended Ohio State University,
where he joined Phi Sigma Delta fraternity
prior to enrolling in Naval Officer Training
School at the outbreak of World War II. Lee
served with distinction as a Lieutenant Juni-
or Grade in the South Pacific, participating in
numerous campaigns and support missions.

After the war, Lee returned to Ohio State,
where he met the love of his life and wife of
72 years, Johann. Lee and Johann settled in
Philadelphia to raise their family. Lee ran a
successful meat packing company and was a
founding member of Temple Beth Hillel,
Wynnewood, PA. Lee remained an avid
sports fan of his beloved Ohio State Buck-
eyes, Chicago Cubs and Philly sports teams.

Upon retirement to South Florida, Lee was a
constant fixture on the tennis courts well in-
to his eighties despite his declining health.

Lee was a generous husband, dad, grandfath-
er and great-grandfather. He will be missed
dearly. Lee is survived by his wife, Johann;
daughter Linda Hertz (Lee); son Richard
(Cherie); grandchildren Meryl Junik (Kyle),
Rachel Licht (Gregg), Sundri Simon (Keith)
and James; and great-grandchildren Evan,
Aaron, Margot, Shay, Emilia, and Zoe. His
family is eternally grateful to his caregivers,
