Tanya,
It wasn't until today that I became aware of the fact that Gennady Levshetz was from Mequon. That fact and a familiarity with the name prompted me to continue to learn more about him. In doing so, I came to realize that that was your dad. I am so sorry, Tanya, and grieve with you and your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers. From all that has been said about your dad, he is a person who many loved and respected--someone who will be deeply missed.
