David Levin Obituary

David Saul Levin, age 86, passed away January 11, 2021. Beloved husband of Judy (nee Spero) for 59 years. Dear father of Michael (Barbara) Levin and Gail Levin, and proud Papa of Elan and Benjamin. David was the son of Sidney and Ida (nee Lerner) Levin and stepson of Fanny (nee Leiter) Levin, and brother of the late Elaine (Jules) Altenberg and brother-in-law of Neal (Glorya) Spero.

David was born in Chicago and graduated from Northwestern University and Harvard Law School. He was President of the Tax Executive Institute of Chicago and a National Vice President, and was a member of the Civic Federation of Chicago. He also was an Officer of North Shore Congregation Israel, Glencoe, IL. and enjoyed being with his friends in GEL. His warm smile and easygoing manner will be missed by his lifelong Chicago and newer Milwaukee friends. Many thanks to his caregivers and the staff at Ovation Jewish Home and Care Center in Milwaukee.

Private services. Memorials to Ovation Jewish Home and Care Center or Congregation Emanu-El B'ne Jeshurun appreciated.
