Dear Bronstein Family, I never got to know Lev personally, but whenever I called RMC with an issue, if I got Lev, he was always so pleasant & I could be assured the problem would be handled right away. I am so sorry for your loss.

Lev was bright, funny, engaging and articulate.
We always enjoyed his company at family gatherings and obviously it won’t be the same without him.
He was always fast with a quip, insightful about people & politics, and of course was always great with his daughters.
We’ve thought about Lev a lot these last few weeks. It’s hard to believe he’s gone.
We hope that Andrew & Emilie will continue to be involved with all four girls as they grow up, because they enjoy playing with the kids and they’re great together.
We’ll miss Lev.
We wish the best for the Bronstein family & we’ll help in any way that we can.
Love, Aunt Jo & Uncle Don

Dear Eliana, Mira, Raissa, Tali, and Kiriyah,
Lev will be missed greatly; he touched many lives with his smile, quick wit, intelligence, and of course his passionate opinions. He was a supportive and caring friend when called upon, and the world is truly at a loss without him.
My heart goes out to all of you in your time of grief.

It is with profound sadness that we write today this note. Lev for all of us will be a warm and friendly memory. His sense of humor, intellect, and unique charm is a blessing. With Lev there was always a topic of conversation and opinion. We will miss his friendly demeanor at all the family events.

All of us in Express Scripts will miss Lev greatly. I will especially miss our discussions. I have never met anyone who I agreed with so much on politics, music, movies, etc... and yet we could always manage to find something to argue about - and then laugh about afterwards. All of our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I loved working with Lev here at Express Scripts. I was especially fond of him because every once in a while he would buy us McDonald's breakfast. That pushed him right to the top of my list. He was a great worker, funny, knowledgeable and dedicated. But more then that he was just a good guy. He was full of deeply held convictions and a big heart We miss him a lot and are keeping his family in our prayers. May God bless you during this difficult time.

Lev was a great guy to work with. He was very caring and sincere on the one hand, yet he was also very fun and interesting to talk to as well. He would say, "Good day" to me in perfect Russian, which was really cool. I miss him.

Lev will be missed by several people at ESI including me. We shared stories of babies and he was one of the people that convinced me to not give up my baby and I am so glad for that. He made me laugh often and was always happy and cheery. He loved his wife and girls so much and always let that show. God bless his family.

Holding you in tenderness.

My fondest memory was when Lev asked for directions to the nearest mall, so that he could go shopping for his wife and precious little girls. I chuckled saying "Yeah right, you want to go shopping?". I loved hearing how much he loved his family and missed them when he was away. I am so very glad that I got to work with and meet Lev when he visited us in St.Louis. We would not have had our system up and running if it weren't for his unwavering help, knowledge and dedication. He would answer his cell phone even when he had the day off. I hope and pray that you find comfort in his many wonderful memories.
I am so sorry for your loss! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family,

I think my favorite memory of Lev is from one of the last Non-denominational Multicolored Plastic Egg hunts we had when he worked at the GE Disability Benefit Center. One of the eggs I opened had a note stating "give Lev a hug". Lev knew nothing about this. I walked over to his desk and asked him to stand up. As he did, I wrapped my arms around him and gave him a big hug. There was a crowd watching and apparently Lev made a horrible face. Everyone laughed. That is how I will always remember him.

My thoughts and prayers are with all the Bronstein family. I worked with Lev over several years at ESI. We talked many times at his work station about a lot of things. He was very proud of his family and we talked of the kids growing up. Even after I moved to a different position in the building, I would pass by Lev's desk everyday and get a cheerful hello and a big smile. This is how I shall remember him always.

Lev,
You were truly a fine friend and a supportive teacher. Why is the question. The answer is the time here on this Earth was time well spent by your contributions. My heartfelt prayers go out to you and your Family and the daughters you talked about often and so cherished.

Dear Lev -
I will always miss you and see you in your girls. Your love and support for all of us was constant. I will miss your fast talking energy, your knowledge, jokes and sense of being. You were always helpful, interested and giving. I feel like it was just yesterday when you met Eli and us (her family) in NYC.
Your intelligence and spirit lives on in Mira, Raissa, Tali and Kiyrah. I very am sorry you are gone.

Lev was an awesome friend and colleague and an inspiration to the many lives he touched. No matter how busy he was, he always had time to listen and help a friend and colleague. My sympathies go to his loved ones in this time of loss. He will be greatly missed and I feel he will always be watching over those he loved and held dear in his heart. I feel his laughter and light will live on in those he touched. May peace be his companion.

Lev was a great man to work with. He always went the extra mile. He was a great supervisor and good friend. The love he had for his wife and kids was so evident. He was always talking about them and showing off his pictures. He was so kind and generous, fun to be around, and a compassionate person, he was always there to help you. I learned a lot from him. He was the best supervisor I ever had. He is missed. He will be remembered forever. May he be blessed in Heaven.

It is great sympathy and comfort to his family; that I am posting to the guestbook… Lev was a wonderful man, a good friend, and unbelievable co-worker/manager that I have ever known. He was so cheerful, caring and a man of great imagination… we discussed movies all the time, perhaps more than we worked some days… He was always very supportive in everything that I came to him with… especially his support of the book I typed away on during phone call breaks. He was a man filled with lots of love… I know that he adored his family and will forever love his children until their ending days… and though he is gone from their sight; he will never be gone from their lives. He will guard them every moment of their lives.

I work at Express scripts and was very saddened by Lev's sudden death. To see the pictures and personal things in his cube, it is hard to realize that he is gone. My prayers and sympathy to his family.
