Robert F. LeVine

LEVINE Robert F. LeVine of Shelton, died Sunday of heart failure. He was 50 years old. Bob, also known as "Robbie," was a devoted Connecticut boy, having lived in Bridgeport and then in Trumbull all his life. He will be remembered for his contagious smile and his genuine appreciation of others. "Bob had that warmth and friendship you don't often see in the business world," said Peter Geiger, vice-president of Geiger Brothers, whose promotional company was affiliated with Bob for 15 years. "He loved people and he loved relationships and we will miss him terribly." President of AD Marketing, a specialty advertising firm serving clients around the country, Bob worked for more than 20 years, side by side, with his father, David J. LeVine, founder and former president of the company. At his funeral last Tuesday, Rabbi Jerome Wallin of Trumbull shared memories of Bob's wonderful sense of humor and caring nature. A close friend recalled that what was remarkable about him was his compassion for other people. "He was a great human being," she said, "-a sweet, kind, gentle man who just wanted to love and be loved." Bob LeVine is survived by his parents, Rosalie and David LeVine; his children, Matthew LeVine and Alexandra LeVine; and by his siblings, Jeffrey, Marilyn and Mark. His sister, Adrienne died of cancer in 1963. Bob and Adrienne are buried at the Rodeph Sholom cemetery in Fairfield.
