Bernard Levy

I remember Prof. Levy as a scholar of Chaucer who astonished me with the depth and breadth of his knowledge. I also remember his wine-and-cheese parties after a guest speaker, when he would have one glass of wine, flush red in the face, and become the most congenial and amusing of companions. I have few memories that can compete with that. He was the soul of courtesy, kindness and patience.

Bernie was simply the most generous and gentle man imaginable. He was kind to me as a younger colleague, always, and kind to his students. He was fierce in his politics, and indefatigible-- and of course, we all knew how much he adored his family.

To Mrs. Levy and all of the Levy girls, my deepest sympathies on the loss of Mr. Levy. My sister Sandi and I lived with our father Alan Goodsite next door to you for about 5 years in the 70s, and he lived there even longer. I loved spending time at your house and can still remember so much of what it looked like, but most especially how much love was there. I'm very sad for you all but I know you will help each other to get through your sorrow.

Dear Aunt Betty and Family,
I don't remember the lilacs. I remember the loving couple kissing out in front of Grandma and Grandpas house and a little boy being slightly embarrassed. Years later it was lively discussions between a staunch Democrat and an equally staunch Republican, but always there was at great deal of family love starting with my mom and dad and continuing to the current generation. Ann and I and all of our children will remember him fondly.

So sorry about the death of Bernie. Please know that Beth, and the whole family are in our thoughts and prayers. Please call, if you need anything.

So very sorry to hear of Bernies passing. He will surely be missed, especially his infectious smile.

So very sorry to hear of Bernie's passing. He was a good man who lived a good life.

Our sincere condolences to you Aunt Betty and all your lovely children and grandchildren. Like Linda, I too, think of you both when Lilacs bloom in the spring. I am so glad that you came to visit a couple of years ago. It was always fun having you visit. May he rest in peace. Hugs to all of you. Love, Terri and Bill

We were so sorry to hear the news; we have such fond memories of Bernie, his enthusiasm and passion for life, as well as of his warmth. We send out deepest condolences to you, Beth, and the family.
