Joseph married his wife, Frances Stewart, on June 4, 1953. They were married for 57 years until her death in 2010.
Lev will always be remembered for his sense of humor, love of travel and being an avid tennis player, the devotion he had to his family and flying with his son Stewart. The Sunday Group always enjoyed his refreshments in his Merry Miler after Play and was famous for his Ramos Gin Fizz.
