I'll skip over formidable and skip straight to smiles and hugs, which is what I see when I close my eyes and think of him. We've been so lucky to have all of you in our lives and you were far luckier to have had him -- and each other. Thanks so much for sharing.
love, Staci

You are all family to me.

I will always cherish "Uncle Don" for his joyful laugh and bear hugs.

He.. all of you.. have always been there for every celebration and every sorrow in our lives.

I will miss him terribly, but the bond will never be broken.

Much, much love,
Shoshana

Dear Donna,
Our hearts are with you.We won't remember Donny as "formidable" To us
he was thought provoking, funny and
stubborn and aways there(almost!)when
you needed him.The "Midnight Cowboy"
lives on!
Dear Allison, Richard and Phillip,
We will "honor" your Daddy with a
donation and he will always be a
part of our most cherished memories.
He is truly "unforgettable"!

Uncle Marshall's Grandpa died 45
years ago and he still plays gin

and I remember him with every Hershy
Bar I eat, every time I cross the
street he's holding my hand and
every time I read to my grandchildren he's there..your Grandpa loved you very much and he'll be with you forever....playing
...his favorite thing to do!

Hi, I saw the name Philip Levin in the obituary and I thought it might be the same Philip Levin that I went to Buckley with (Class of '85). My condolences and sympathy to you and your family for the loss of your dear grandfather.
