Frederick W. Levin

I served as Capt Levin's Flag Lt/Sec'y while in Suitland Md in the late 1980's. He was very professional and caring and I was proud to be part of his command. RIP Shipmate!

I gave heard how u bragged about me. Dad I am truly humbled that I made u that proud. I love and miss you Dad

Capt. Levin was my professor at the University of West Florida (UWF), and I had the honor of being part of one of his inaugural classes focused on Political Military Intelligence. From the very first class, it was clear that his teaching style was unique; he created an environment that felt more like a captivating storytelling session than a conventional lecture. His ability to weave personal anecdotes and real-world experiences into our lessons made the subject matter come alive.

Capt. Levin approached his role as a mentor with genuine care and dedication. He took his students under his wing, guiding us with the warmth and support of a proud father. Many of us were still navigating the challenges of young adulthood, grappling with personal and academic uncertainties. In those moments of confusion, Capt. Levin was always there, taking the time to offer valuable advice and wisdom that often helped us make sense of our situations.

When he first met me, he looked at my name and shared that my nickname in Russia would be Sasha. From that day forward, I became Sasha to him, a name that formed a special bond between us, even though my real name is Alexandra. This small yet significant gesture illustrated his ability to connect with students on a personal level.

The impact Capt. Levin had on my life was profound, so much so that I have spoken about him and his lessons with my twins. His passion for education and the profound influence he exerted as an educator inspired me to embark on my own journey into the field of education. I realized how essential a supportive and impactful teacher could be in shaping young minds and lives.

Although he will be dearly missed, his legacy will undoubtedly continue through the many lives he touched. We are committed to carrying on the important work that he was so passionate about, ensuring that his spirit and teachings live on.

I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Capt. Levin and Mrs. Janet for all they did for us during our college years. Your support and guidance meant the world to us. We appreciate everything you provided, and we love you both dearly. You will never be forgotten.
