STEPHEN M. LEVIN

Not a day goes by that Doc is not on my mind. This was one of the finest men I had ever met and his love for his patients shined through like no other. He helped me through my darkest of times being a firefighter who served at ground zero on 9/11. I was proud to help Doc get his first seed money for the program that eventually became what it is by my speech to the folks at Bear Sterns. I am deeply grateful that GOD gave me the proper words to say. Doc also was a member of our Board Of...

This editorial may never see daylight so I thought I'd put it here.
I met Dr. Stephen Levin, M.D. in early 1968. The movement for quality, preventive, door-to-door testing, healthcare, free of charge, as a right to all people regardless of economic status, was at its height among the youth in New York City. We really believed we could wipe-out lead poisoning in children and put a dent in the high rates of infant mortality and asthma, begin much needed research on sickle cell...

I was a patient of Dr. Levin. He did not treat diseases, he helped people. When you lose you job, your insurance and the medication you need to breathe you can also lose hope. I did not because Dr. Levin found a way to get me the help I needed. It could be a long wait to see him because he gave every patient the time they needed. We will miss him.

As a member of the Fernald II Worker Settlement Fund panel, I had the privilege of working with Steve Levin along with John Balmes and Pam Mallory via conference call every two weeks. This has been a bi-weekly event for more than ten years. Steve's input and perspective will be missed very much. I also spent time with Robin and Steve in Libby, Montana including trout fishing along the Kootenai River and in the winter, snowball fights. Steve was a worker advocate, a colleague, and a...

If you work with your hands, are exposed to toxic compounds, are among the working class of manual labors, this includes of course firefighters, we lost a champion of occupational medicine last week on Tuesday. This is a significant loss to humanity in my opinion; thanks for all the hard work related to 9/11 you will be missed.

Our deepest condolences to our dear friend Robin and Steve's children and family. Steve was a wonderful person and held in such high esteem by all. We are fortunate to have known him and to see how he and Robin complemented each other. We are so sorry for your loss and are keeping you in our thoughts and wishing you comfort.

It is with great sadness that we read of Steve's passing. He was such kind, gentle, generous man. We feel blessed to have known him and his life will be an inspiration for us to follow. Our condolences to Robin and to his entire family.

Dr. Levin was a good man. I am a researcher and advocate in public health with a specialization in toxic exposures. I remember first seeing Dr. Stephen Levin's face on television news when I was still living in Baltimore and working on Gulf War Syndrome. Those of us in public health were very worried when the towers came down, could not believe they did not send hazmat crews. I saw Dr. Levin look directly into the camera and say "we don't need blood, we need Asbestos grade respirators..."...
