To the Levy family. I am sorry to hear of your loss. I knew Marc while I was in the EOP program at PSU. Marc was an intelligent and pragmatic person who gave very generously of his time. I had numerous chats w him over the years since I left St College in 1986, and always found him to be insightful and kind. I am grateful to have known Marc.
