I miss Dr Levengood more than words can say. He was more than a vet, he was my friend. I still haven't found a vet that comes close to the vet that Jack was and never will!

Dr. Levengood took care of every single one of my animals for 40+ yrs. He cared for them, and also listened to me and my worries, cares, and wiped away my years several times also. He is a testament to empathy and love. He is missed greatly!

I am so very sorry to learn of the passing of Dr. Levengood.  He was an extraordinary Dr. and individual.  What he has done for anyone who was a pet owner has been wonderful.  He was always down-to-earth and very compassionate.  He had a great sense of humor as well.  My sincere condolences to Dr. Levengood's family.  You had one of the very best people in life spend his life with you.
Sincerely,
Pat Wakefield & "Kimba" (also, my departed "Angel")

I was so very sad to hear of Jacks passing! I will always remember the broad smile his kindness even when having to help me part with my favorite animal. On on occasion he refused to let me pay him for his services because he remembered my dog so well and stated "Fred and I were old friends I could never take anything for that." I know that was not sweat at the corner of his eye but a tear as he remembered all the visits we made to his office. sleep well my friend, and I hope all dogs do go to heaven you will have many friends their!

Words can not express what this man has meant to me and my animals through over 40 years. He was always there for me whenever I needed him unless as I often joked..he was off basking on a beach! Heaven has gained a wonderful man! I can only imagine the number of furry friends waiting to welcome him!! Until we meet again...

I am sad to hear of Dr. Levengood 's passing. He was my family's vet since I was a little girl, and continued to be my vet and friend as I started my own family. He cared for many of my pets and was always there with a kind word when it was time for them to go. I will truly miss him and I am glad I had the chance to know him. Celebrating a life well lived. I will cherish the memories forever.

I knew Jack for so very many years. He was certainly a special vet. I can remember all the dogs I took to him for shots or when they were sick or injured, and the kindness he showed as he helped me lay many of them to rest as well. There were times when I told him I didn't have the money to pay. He would just say stop by when you can. He was always so calm and relaxed. We would chat a while about the latest news or what our kids were doing. It was just like visiting with an old friend. In fact, that's exactly what he was.

Jack, you took such wonderful care of our family.

We are so sorry to hear of Dr. Levengood's passing, not only a friend but an icon of the Towerville Community. We purchased our Chocolate Lab, Avery, with Jack's blessing, and put him to rest, alongside Jack, with tears from us all. Jack often joked it would be Avery that put him in retirement, breaking that old wobbly treatment table. One day Avery wrote a poem to Jack, pleading for extra food, he had grown older and Jack decided a diet was in order, but one "cup" of food was going a little too far................ I always felt "safe" with a Dr. in the neighborhood, not only for pets but to rush "little ones" to as well. We will sadly & dearly miss Jack & all the blessings & comfort he brought to our community. Please know our thoughts & prayers are with you and your family. Randy & Bridget Doan

He, and your family will be forever remembered in our thoughts and prayers. Tony and Meg Polvino
