Thomas W. Levitt

I just learned today that my friend and law school classmante Tom Levitt died. My first thought was for Molly and the girls, because they were always the persons Tom mentioned first when we spoke. It was clear from the way he talked about them that they held an unchallenged place in the very center of Tom's heart.

My favorite memory of Tom comes from the summer of 1977 after we had taken our respective bar exams. Tom came to Oregon to visit me, and we decided to take a backpack...

As a distant cousin of Tom's. I am embarrassed that I only learned of his passing yesterday througfh a business contact in Kansas City. Our sincere condolences. Jim, Linda, and Jessica Hochman

We will all miss Tom. Kansas City benefited greatly from his advocacy and his real affection for the city. Tom is very much appreciated and respected. I am sorry for your loss.

For a number of months I have felt a need to look up different old childhood buddies, not seen since. Tom Levitt was among them. Is this the Tom who went to Camp Horseshoe?

Hearing of Tom's passing has stopped us in our tracks of everyday life to reflect on formative days gone by. Tom was our classmate and roommate at Yale.

Reading of his latter years in KC provides comfort to us that Tom found happiness in his family and community. He had a great desire to express his love for humanity.

May his memory be a blessing.

We are saddened to lose a dear friend. I have so many wonderful memories of Molly and Tom walking around the block with their daughters...dog in tow. Always a moment to pause and chat. And who can forget the parties, birthday celebrations, excitement over the wonderful renovations that brought life to decaying neighborhoods! He was the loveliest of gentlemen, and made the world a better place.

Tom was my only contact when I moved from Border Star to Pembroke, and he was a wonderful friend. Gentle, thoughtful, brilliant, and a captivating sense of humor. Clearly, a pillar in the reemergence of downtown and the Crossroads. An exceptional human being.

my deep felt sadness of Toms passing to Molly and the girls and Jean and Jim--my many memories of spending quality time with Tom....with long talks and sharing many experiences will always be a treasure--Michael Schwartz, Dallas Texas
