Andrew Levering Obituary

Andrew "Andy" Dutton Levering

of Massachusetts former longtime Haddonfield resident - Andrew "Andy" Dutton Levering, 69 years old, passed away on Monday evening, September 28th, 2020 due to complications of Parkinson's disease.

Andy was born to the late James and Pauline Levering. He graduated from Haddonfield High School in 1969 as the Senior Class President and went on to attend Dickinson College, where he was a proud member of the "White Hat Society." Andy lived most of his life in Haddonfield, then at Uxbridge in Cherry Hill, until this past July, when he moved up to Massachusetts to be closer to his grandkids.

Andy is survived by his son Jeff Levering and wife Erin (Jameson, Farrin, and Rosaleen); his son Scott Levering; his sister Robin Wright and her husband Bill (Michelle Piotrowski and Gregory Wright); his sister-in-law Karen Levering and Dave Mathers (Jeniffer Galvin, Katie Sears, and Ben Levering). He was predeceased by his brother John "Walt" Levering. He was known as "Uncle Andy" to so many nieces, nephews, in-laws, and those not even related! Nothing made him happier than time spent with his family and friends.

Andy played an integral part in Haddonfield's community where he was blessed with life-long friendships. He enjoyed nearly 40 years working in sales at Package Materials Corporation in Haddonfield. He was a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Haddonfield, serving as deacon, trustee, and elder and loved portraying a shepherd in the annual Christmas Service. Andy never missed selling Christmas Trees for the annual Y's Mens' fundraiser, he umpired behind home plate for Little League baseball for over 25 years, and in his later years, he enjoyed boxing with his beloved friends in the Parkinson's Program at the Katz JCC. Andy loved reading the daily newspaper, he was an avid Civil War buff and a die-hard Phillies fan, and any Mel Brooks movie had him laughing to the point of tears.

Andy exuded a kindness and warmth that will never be forgotten by those that had the good fortune to cross his path.

On Thursday, October 8, 2020 there will be a private service at Kain-Murphy Funeral Services, 15 West End Ave., Haddonfield, NJ. The service will also be available by Zoom. Please email [email protected] if you would like the Zoom code to virtually attend this service.

Andy was our next door neighbor through the 1950s and spent a great deal of time at our house on West End - pictured in the center of a photo of Christmas morning in or about 1956. He had one of the most even dispositions of anyone I ever met - a joy to be around. I’m sure you miss him terribly, Robin.

I got to know Andy walking to school at HMHS as classmates. I have known him ever since and he was one of the kindest, most thoughtful and caring people I have ever known in life. My condolences to his family. RIP Andy.

Andy was not only a Colleague of mine and the PMC Family but a very dear friend to us all. He would come in the office with a cheerful HELLO TEAM! He was always dressed for our annual Christmas dinner in his red plaid jacket and cumberbun. Andy was truly a Wiseman and a Sheppard. Our dear friend I am sure entered the pearly gates with trumpet's blaring! Sincere condolences to his family.

My parents, Walt and Devy Pope were great friends with Jim and Peedee Levering. I grew up knowing the Leverings through poker night, and Dinner Group. The group of Haddonfield friends were very social. Andy was older than me, but I remember the family fondly.

Simply put, Andy was just one of those "good guys." Generous and caring, he was a friend to all. His obit photo with the huge smile and thumbs up gesture is exactly how I'll always remember him.

Andy was a great neighbor and friend. He is a product of a wonderful fine family to include his parents, children and his extremely kind sister Robin. You will all be on our minds for some time as we quietly honor Andy.

As I said to my brother, one would be hard-pressed to find a nicer guy.
Would venture to say Andy made it through this world with few, if any enemies. Will always remember his great smile - a la Soupy Sales.
RIP Andy

Andy was always the nice guy to everyone, can't believe how quick the time has gone by. We were always told "Don't cry because it's over, rather smile because it happened" Glad our paths crossed on Woodland Avenue.
