Laurence Levitan

I worked for RLLS for three years and worked closely with Mr Levitan. He was a wonderful man and I'm grateful for the time I was able to spend with him.

Larry was my oldest close friend. We met in Washington, 1939 in front of our father´s stores on 7th Street at Florida Ave. I eventually moved permanently to Annapolis and spent time with Larry through his years in the legislation, retirement to his law firm and phone calls as he crossed the Chesapeake Bridge. There were many funny stories. The one I will share is when a mutual friend Jimmy Cafritz opened a Poppi´s franchise in Annapolis. Larry called me and asked if I would have dinner with...

To me, Larry was always a "mensch" (look it up)! While highly respected and held in high esteem, never-the-less, he was a down-to-earth gentleman. He once asked for me to help him with a hand-me-down computer. We were setting up communications, which was a big deal at that time. I figured if Bell's first message over the first telephone was "Mr. Watson, come here. I want to see you.", my message to Senator Levitan was a simple "Yahoo is on sale at the Giant." He must have liked Yahoo...

Dear Barbara.....Sandy and I were so saddened to hear of Larry´s passing. We hold such fond memories of you both and spending time with his family. Please know we are thinking of you and your family and send sincere condolences. Fondly, Barbara and Sandy Maslansky

We are so sorry for your loss. Larry was a great friend and tennis partner of my late father, Jimmy, for decades, and he will be missed dearly. Our sincere condolences and thoughts go out to Barbara and the whole family.

My father, Howard, knew him from GWU and always held him in high regard. Sending condolences to your family.

My sincere condolences to the entire Levitan family. My memories of Larry are special. He was supportive of me when I entered the business world and was helpful with advise when i needed it. He served the people in his district with what he felt was best. He will be missed! A very unique man!

I have had the pleasure of Larry and Barbara´s company for the past few years after they moved to Delaware right up the road from we are. We had dinner with the Levitans every week and enjoyed political gossip about our Montgomery and State politics. As Chairman of the Senate Budget and Tax, he was a very powerful political figure and a wonderful friend. I will truly miss him!!

We have been in Ocean City for the past several years. We have been blessed with the friendship of Larry and Barbara right up the road in Delaware. We usually had dinner once a week and thoroughly enjoyed discussing the events of our native Montgomery and Maryland state politics. As Chairman of Senate Budget & Tax he was a very powerful state leader. He was so fortunate to have Barbara at his side, a powerful woman in her own right. I will truly miss him.
