STANLEY RAYMOND LEVINE, age 74, of Rocky River, Ohio, passed away on December 13, 2016. A native of Brooklyn, N.Y., and a veteran of the U.S. Army, he moved to Cleveland to begin his career at NASA as a chemical engineer, specializing in ceramic coatings. He married his wife of 45 years, Phyllis (née Peterson), with whom he lovingly raised four children: Emmy, Lauren (Russell) Magaziner, Jessica (Eileen McDonald), and Peter (Brenda Reyes Cordova). He is survived by his brother, Al, sisters-in-law, Barbara Stewart and Gloria Peterson, four grandchildren, nieces, nephews and many friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, Abraham and Jennie (née Turkel), and his sister, Frances. In his retirement, he enjoyed taking classes, traveling, tutoring children, hearing live music, regular poker games, and going on LEAKOIL cruises in a Volkswagen Vanagon. Always a fierce lover of family and friends, his kindness was eclipsed only by his generosity. A memorial service will be planned at a later time.

Stan was a role model in all things. Though he possessed a sharp intellect, he lived and led from his always honorable heart. He will be missed.

I have fond memories of Stan: at work at NASA, playing racquetball, playing poker, having lunch with the other retired guys.

I'm saddened to hear of Stan's passing and as Jerry said he was a great guy! He was my first and best branch chief while I was at NASA. I owe much to Stan for his support and encouragement. Praying for your family in this difficult time.
