Richard I. "Dick" Levin

Dick hired me as a faculty member in 1968. He was always full of ideas and cared deeply about the school. At times we had our differences but he was always a supportive colleague.

I regret that I was out of the country until Nov. 21 and didn't learn of his death until today (Nov. 23). I am saddened by his death and by not having a chance to attend the service and say goodbye. I wish the best to the children, the pride of both Charlotte and Dick.
Sincerely,

I was a second year MBA student (1982) grading IM papers for Dr. Levin. He was always accessible and he got me an interview which led to my first job. He also told me that he would come back to haunt me if I failed him. A true gentleman...

There are many wonderful Prof. Levin stories .. here's mine ..

Long story short, while living in the Southern Part of Heaven, I needed a referral to a urologist.

Prof. Levin had disclosed his cancer case. I called his office. He had his admin, call his urologist for me, who saw me, ASAP.

That's Carolina, Tar Heels.

A great teacher, high standards, patient with yours truly. In my last letter to him, I told him, and we had a great moment together. /Cl. Alex. Chien, Carolina MBA '90/

A great professor and very fine man, indeed. "Buy low, sell high." and other memorable quips made his lectures entertaining and forever embedded in my memory. Peace to the Levin family and thank you for sharing your talented father. I feel most fortunate to have been one of the many students who benefitted from his teaching.

Thank you for informing me of your Dad's passing. I was greatly saddened to hear the unexpected news.
Your Dad and I go back to 1947 when me met at N.C. State where we played in the ROTC band and later formed his first dance band.
We reconnected in 1980 when we discovered we had both built cottages by the same contractor in Emerald Isle. From that time on we have met every year for drinks or meals at Emerald Isle.
On several occasions I have had the extreme pleasure to fly with him...

Senior year 1982, Professor Levin personally made the connection to land my first job. Always grateful!

My sincere condolences to the family. It is a blessing Dick lived a long life. Many people may never see his age. He reminds me of Psalms 90:10, an especially strong individual.

Lisa, Deb, Steve,

I am sorry for the loss of a great man, who positively impacted me while I was at the UNC MBA program from '84-'86. I assisted with the Executive Program and was able to see your Dad outside of class which was a gift--his love of life, sense of humor, willingness to spend whatever time it took to help others learn and grow their skills. I have taken your Dad's lessons with me for 30+years.

Take care...celebrate an amazing life!

God Bless,

Bob...
