Lawrence Levine

Rest in Peace Larry. You taught us a lot, including how to win elections!

I will never forget Mr. Levine. He was a kind, devoted teacher who truly cared about his students. He gave me my first sense of civic duty with his passion for politics and democracy. I'm so thankful I grew up in a time when a teacher could offer a student a hug or pat on the shoulder without it being construed as abuse. To this day I feel privileged to have known Larry Levine and been one of his students.

We lived in the same neighborhood and our families,Bill and Nancy Dickinson, were good friends. Mr. Levine was also my 8th grade histoy teacher. I loved his class. He made history very interesting. I remember instead of having desks, we all sat in a circle. Mr. Levine and his wife Sandy were wonderful people. I live in Florida and saw them a few times when they came here. I always enjoyed their visits. My heart goes out to his family. He will be greatly missed.

RIP Mr. Levine --- I remember you as a genuinely kind teacher - my condolences to your family and friends.

Let me be the first to say how sad I am that Mr. Levine has died. I had him for a teacher at Clark Lane Jr High in Waterford. He was a generous and inspiring teacher. He had a way of exposing students to higher moral notions from literature and history.

Although he was Jewish, ironically, one of his lectures about selfless love as a Christian notion stuck with me at an early age.

Later on while in High School and college, I worked at Radio Shack in the NL Shopping Center. A...

Mr. Levine was a wonderful and memoraable teacher at CLMS and has given so much to education. He will be missed by many.

I loved Mr. Levine's classes; what a wonderful teacher and man. I was fortunate to have learned much from him. The photo is a wonderful reminder, also, as it is just how I remember him. My condolences to the Levine family.

To Larry's Family, I was a classmate of Larry's at Chapman Tech in the Class of 1947,the very best class of them all. We shared many classes and extracurricular activities together; he was a good friend. It was wonderful to see him, to renew our friendship, and to meet his wife,Sandy, at our 55th Reunion in 2002. We are having our 66th and last Class Reunion this fall-I will miss his smile and warm personality but will always remember that portion of the life journey we shared from 1943-1947....

Sorry for your loss. He hired me for one of my first jobs. Donna Alviani McArdle
