BARRY LEVITES Obituary

LEVITES--Barry. Goldberg Weprin Finkel Goldstein LLP mourns the untimely passing of our dear friend, Barry Levites. Barry was a self-made man rising from property management to a dean of the City's real estate community, a philanthropist, a world traveler, and a gentleman. Barry's greatest joy and reason for living was his family: his wife, Janice, his daughters, their husbands, and his grandchildren, to whom we extend our heartfelt condolences. We are privileged to have known him.

Dear Janice, Andrea, Laura, Lesa and family,

I am sorry for your recent loss. My father past away in May as well and I unfortunately know how you feel.
Aside from my dad, Barry was a real source of guidance for me over the last 17 years. His friendship meant the world to me. He had such wealth of knowledge and wisdom that I will truly miss. He was the hardest working, most successful investor and business man that I know. He always had a funny story to share but most of all he loved talking about his family and he loved you all very much. If there is anything I can do please let me know.

Sincerely,

Craig Hayes

Dear Janice, Dear family,
I`ve known Barry for a very short time, though an intensive one. During these seven days of touring Israel I`ve come to appriciate Barry`s joy of life, his deep and sincere, and at the same time humorous approach to life, his kindness and generosity.
My heart is with you, Janice, with your daughters and their families, of whom Barry spoke with such love and pride.

To the Levites family and staff of Levites Realty Management-
42 years ago my family made an excellent decision to place the management of our building in Barry's hands. Barry always shared his time, wisdom and thoughts, which I deeply valued and respected. I will miss his guidance and enthusiasm, as will all of the staff of Levites Realty Managment. He was a good friend and is deeply missed.

We have lost a truly great man, he never sought the limelight, had confidence, but not arrogance.
He was very comfortable in his own skin, marched to the beat of his own drum. Called it as he saw it, tireless individual with an incredible work ethic, what more can you ask for, I will miss his wit and his wisdom, It was a priviledge to have known you, and I will never forget you. Job well done.
