Bert Levy Obituary
January 17, 1937 - October 28, 2023
Kansas City, Missouri - Siegbert "Bert" Levy died peacefully on Saturday, October 28, 2023. He was 86.
Bert was born on January 17, 1937, in Trier, Germany. His family immigrated to the U.S. when he was 1 year old. He grew up on a farm outside of St. Joseph, Missouri, and joined the army after high school. The G.I. bill helped him get his bachelor's degree and a Juris Doctorate (JD). He worked for the federal government as an accountant and for the City of Kansas City as an auditor.
Bert enjoyed being outside and favored the parks and tennis courts of Kansas City. He loved to take walks around his neighborhood and converse with all his neighbors.
He was a generous friend, neighbor, uncle, brother, and father.
Bert was preceded in death by his father, Arnold, and mother, Bella. He is survived by his two daughters, Rachel Janner (Markus) and Sarah Cartwright; his sister, Rosalie Goldberg (George); and his brother, Gary Levy (Laura Oliver); his nieces and nephews, Chuck (Beth) Goldberg, Michele Mottlowitz (Craig), and Gavin Levy (Eriko).

Bert was one of the most calm person I have ever known. Another thing I liked about Bert was his hat. I am not so sure about the suspenders. Either way he was quite a likable character.

I just learned of Bert's passing. So sad to hear it. I played tennis and walked with Bert for several years. And he was a regular at our Saturday night bridge for many years. . He will certainly be missed.

Bert walked the neighborhood daily. For the past 15 years he frequently stop by my container home and admired my garden. I just saw him several weeks ago on his daily walk and thought how powerful of a man he was, that he always took the walk. Sad to hear of his passing, sending love to the family and friends that will miss him, I know I will. Debbie Glassberg

Bert was a wonderful person and friend. I met him at Loose Park 10 years ago playing tennis. We would play tennis at Loose Park or Brookside at least 3 times a week at 7:50am. He would run me all over the court. It was a great start for my day. I will miss him dearly. Rest in peace my friend.
