Howard Levy Obituary

I only knew Howard in his later years when he and Sarane were my neighbors in Deerfield. During that time, I was impressed with his intelligence, openness and courtesy--qualities the world so needs. His was truly a live well-lived. Sarane and those close to him, my heartfelt sympathy to you in your loss. May your fond memories of Howard sustain you.

Howard was in the highest rank of the good people.
I saw him at a Cardiac dinner in Nov., and we talked about the fact that he was in the paper with the veterans in front of the bank.

I will miss Mr. Howard, who always called me "Shema". He would come to my window and looking for more chocolate candy. I would have to tell him "Only one for you"! I will miss the man who called "Shema". Mr. Howard will always be in my heart. My condolences to Mr. Howard's family.

Dear Sarane, Rick, and Jeff,
Howard was a truly wonderful man. Our deepest sympathy.

Howard touched so many peoples lives in so many ways. I remember the days when I first started working at First Bank of Highland Park. Howard would come in around 10 - 10:30 a.m. and make his rounds saying good morning to everyone as he made his way back to his office. He ALWAYS had a smile on his face. Not too long after his arrival, he was already looking for someone to go to lunch with. Now that I am at the Northbrook office, I did not see Howard often but would meet him for lunch on occasion. I always enjoyed our time together and the stories he would tell. He was a fascinating man and could tell stories about his past as if they happened yesterday. I will miss this incredible man dearly. I think most of us thought this day would never come - Howard was invincible. My deepest condolences to you Sarane and the entire Levy family. Howard will live on in all of us.

My condolences to the Levy family. I remember when Howard would walk into the bank he would always greet everyone. He was always happy. Howard was a wonderful man and will be greatly missed.

Howard was a Summa Cum Mensch, "a person with the highest integrity and honor." I have nothing but the fondest memories of the many holidays and celebrations that I shared a meal with Howard. My heartfelt condolences go out to Sarane, Rick, Jeff, and the rest of the family.

We lost a genuinely unique man in Howard. He was full of insight, charm, & life. I will never look at chocolate again without thinking of him!

Dear Sarane,

and inspiring a person as I have ever
met.He will be missed by many.Our condolences to you and your family.
