Elie Alain Levi

May 14, 1955 - April 23, 2024 Elie Alain Levi, 68, a remarkable man whose life journey spanned continents and touched countless hearts, passed away on April 23, 2024, surrounded by loved ones. Born in Alexandria, Egypt, on May 15, 1955, to Menasce and Diane Levi, the Levis were forced to flee to Paris and ultimately settled in the United States by the time Alain was three years old.
In Squirrel Hill, PA, Alain became an American, joined the swim team, formed lifelong friendships and many happy memories with his sisters, Terry, Simone and Debbie.
After graduating from Allderdice High School, Alain attended Penn State and graduated from UCLA. He led a successful career in law and business, where he owned Silvestri California, one of the largest mannequin manufacturers in the world.
Alain was a passionate collector of bicycles, cars, boats, and airplanes, but above all else, he loved his family. His greatest pride was his daughter Mia, and his days were filled with happiness alongside his wife, Ruta.
Alain's extraordinary strength was evident during his six-year battle with pancreatic cancer. He is survived by his wife, Ruta; daughter, Mia; stepson, Vincent; and sisters Terry Snyder, Simone Politi, and Debbie Minchenberg. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to PanCan.org.
