Allen Levi Obituary
March 13, 1948 - September 25, 2021
North Miami Beach, Florida - Allen Levi, age 73, passed away on September 25, 2021, on the tennis court doing what he loved best. As the son of Hertha and Alfred Levi, Allen grew up on Miami Beach. After graduating from Beach High in 1966, where he enjoyed playing a variety of sports, Allen went on to become a Gator at the University of Florida. It was here that he met his partner in life and in work, Kathy. As President of Pi Lambda Phi fraternity, Allen was a trailblazer on many campus issues. And not only did he score the winning touchdown in the Nose Bowl as a pledge, his coaching skills helped the next three pledge classes win this coveted game and bragging rights as well. Allen then became a successful C.P.A. with his own practice in Aventura until his retirement four years ago. He was also very active in the community having been on the Board of Temple Sinai of North Dade for many years and, most recently, voluntarily teaching accounting at Barry University. Allen is survived by his loving wife of fifty years, Kathy; his cherished son, Bret; Bret's partner, Cynthia; his adoring mother-in-law, Judith; his favorite aunt and uncle, Ellie and Bernie Schinder; another favorite aunt, Marilyn Black; and his captivating cousins, Barry, Jeremy, Snooky, Michael, Sergio, Robert and Aura. We will always love and miss you, Big Al. Private services will be held.

I had the pleasure of being coached by Al, then playing alongside him. Al was an inspiration and friend.His personality and presence were magnetic. Everyone in Pi Lam loved and admired him. A true mensch. My memories of Al are truly a blessing.

I never knew Allen personally but I discovered his music within the last year. TALKING WITH TYLER has rapidly become a personal favorite. From what I have been able to read online and the personality that comes through on his LIVE album, it appears that Earth has truly lost someone irreplaceable. Our loss is Heaven's gain. This world is often "ruff ruff ruff" but Allen's music made it easier. God speed, sir...

Dear Kathy and Brett, my deepest condolences for your loss. Al looms large in my memory, even though I haven´t seen him since he graduated. He was deeply devoted to those people and things he loved, and one of them way back was Pi Lambda Phi. This was fortunate for me, for his kindness made my time at UF and Pi Lam better for me, and that kindness will never be forgotten. May his memory be a blessing.

It is with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to Alan. During our days at Florida and in Pi Lam we were friends, coached together thru 3 Nosebowls, played intramurals and united our `69 pledge class thru our interactions, him as Rex and myself as Pledgemaster. He was an admired individual and as a Brother, we spent many nights working together on House issues. At Pi Lam is where I met Alan´s love of his life, the beautiful and always entertaining Kathy. He will be missed but the memories he made will always be there. Kathy, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I am so sorry about Al's passing. He was a great tennis player, and I enjoyed so many opportunities to join Al on the tennis court. He was so caring, kind and truly a gentlemen. Al also was the quickest person on the court with a witty and funny one-liner. Truly will miss him. Rest in peace, Al.
