Morris Levin was my friend for over 42 years. Unfortunately, I was out of the country when his son, Sean, called to tell me the sad news of Mo's death. I first met Morris in 1972 when I had just left the U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington, DC, and joined a law firm where Morris had an office. Later, we were law partners for almost three years, parting on the best of terms.
Morris was a terrific lawyer (as his obituary attests), great friend, fabulous husband and father. He was one of those people who you instantly liked with a great sense of humor and lots of fun to be with. I don't ever recall hearing a bad word said about him.
He was loyal, hard working and loved life, particularly where it involved his wife and children, to whom he was totally devoted.
I will miss him very much. Dan Toomey, Washington, DC April 7,2014

Our heartfelt sympathy to the Levin family and especially to Roberta,
Morris was a wonderful neighbor who made us feel welcome with his warm smile and friendship for many years. His cordial manner and genuine joy in spending time with people he cared for made visits all too fleeting and a welcome departure from the drone of daily events. We will miss him greatly. Our payers and greatest sympathy go out to your family in this most difficult time.
