Anthony Leva Obituary

Dear Nancy, Kelli, and Kim,
There is a saying that nice guys finish last. Not so. Tony was, indeed, a nice guy and was definitely a winner in the human race. Tony was never too busy to help, or to listen. I remember us sitting at the end of the pier at dusk, feeling the peace and serenity all around us. We bonded during those special times. I will never forget him. He was special. He will always be special. Hey Tone, save me a seat. We will meet again.
My deepest love and affection,
Big Nancy

Dear Nancy,and Leva Family,

Your special angel's always with you for jesus says it's so. Your angel is right near your heart everywhere you go. Faith is quite different from hope or belief. Hopes can be dashed. Certain beliefs can be changed or be proven wrong. Faith, however is stronger than either of these. faith is a deep inner realization of god. the spirit of god is active in our lives at all times and in all situations. Each prayer we pray increases our realization of god. It is truly amazing what the power of god can do in any situation. The presence of god brings order where we see none-and transforms negative energy into positive thoughts and actions.May the kindness you spread keep returning to you. May the friendships you make be those which endure, and trusting in him to whom we all pray. May a song fill your heart every step of the way.
god bless-
john M. Stroh

To Nancy and the entire Leva family,

It has been our great honor to know Tony these last 5 years, since we both moved into Deerpath. Tony's quiet grace and dignity were inspirational, and we are better for having known him.

Peace during these difficult times.

I took care of Tony while he was in the hospital; I just wanted to say what a dear man he was. He was gentle and kind and had a great smile. I am so sorry that he didn't make it to see his birthday next week; what a celebration that would have been. I feel privledged to have known him and would like to offer my sympathy to Nancy and the rest of the family. My thoughts and prayers are with you at your time of loss.

We have such fond memories of Uncle Tony. When we were kids, he always took the time to talk to us and he was always smiling. I know he will be greatly missed by his loving family. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.

To me Tony followed his hart. He and Nancy moved to McHenry County to be by his daughter and grandkids. A kid he was at hart. What I saw in his life was the love and soft hart he had for Nancy his children and the grandkids. His eyes would just glow when talking about any of that group. He was always so kind and courteous and a man of his word. We, that survive, can celebrate the warmth, love and integrity that Tony showed as he lived. This is a sad day but, I believe the sun will come up tomorrow no matter what. Prayers, love, peace, understanding, acceptance and most of all faith be with your entire family.

Nancy,
Deanna and I wanted to write and tell you how sorry we are for your loss.
There are never the right words to express how deeply sad we are that you have to endure your loss.
Tony will be truly missed by everyone who knew him no matter where they crossed his path in life.
Tony was a giver, never a taker. He was always there to help no matter how busy he was no matter the time of day and, never asking or needing anything in return.
Friends like Tony are few in life and it is with a heavy heart that we also grieve with your loss.
His friendship meant the world to me; he was to me the brother I never had. Memories of our times together regardless of where we where or what we were doing will be forever held dear to me. May your memories bring you comfort in the days ahead.
We will always remember the, parties, cards and the picnics with all the kids when they were young. We are posting a few recent photos showing the great guy the way we remember.
Your loss is also our loss, and we will be making a donation to the Lung Cancer Alliance in his name.

With our deepest sympathy, your friends,
Bob and Deanna Lobojko
