I never had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Levins however I've had the pleasure of knowing Suzanne. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree; Suzanne is a wonderful wife, mother, and friend. Mr. Levins obviously was a leader worth following. Thank you for your service for our country and for the City of Philadelphia. From the Barbera family to yours, our condolences for your loss. May the happy memories soon outweigh your tears.

I used to go up to the Phila. Police Academy in the evenings to work out in the gym & I would see Bob working out. He introduced himself to me one night as Bob. Once in awhile we exchange some tips on working out or on current events. He never mentioned he was an Inspector. Someone who knew I used to use the Academy' gym asked me if I ever saw Inspector Levins up there. When he described him to me I realized who he was talking about. When I saw him again I asked him why he had never told me his rank. He said under the circumstances he didn't think it was important. He was a real gentleman.

Bob and I were in the same police academy class together. that is where we first met. He was high score on the pistol qualification range with a score of 96. His badge number was #5078, and mine was #4779. We both walked beats for Christmas in center city, and then were assigned to the 25th District, 3 Squad. We worked together for 5 years. I remember when Bob broke his leg after roll call, all the circumstances. His brother was assigned to the 25th and helped me and a couple of officer subdue a prisoner where he also broke his leg, very bad break. However, the Levin boys were cops cops, as was their father, whom I also knew when he drove Mayor Tate. Bob came to my house in Northfield, NJ for lunch after he retired to the Jersey Shore. I moved to the Pocono's and we lost touch. God Bless my dear friend!

What an incredible life Bob had! We
So enjoyed Bob's company when we all
would go out to eat at Villa Maria or The Rocking Chair in Avalon. He was a good
listener and came out with a few zingers when was least expected. He enjoyed coming to the birthday soirées we had down there. He was
A true gentleman! We will remember him fondly.

It's with great sadness to hear of Bob's passing. I remember him fondly as I worked for him in the PPD when he was in the patrol division and again years later when he was director of the safety/security department at LaSalle University. He was a very laid back boss and treated everyone with respect and kindness. While on vacation a few years ago, I tracked him down in Stone Harbor and was so glad to have spent a few hours with him & Helen. My thoughts and prayers go out to Helen & his whole family.
