A genuine caring, sincere and well loved man. He always took time to listen to everyone to give his full attention an concern. He loved sharing jokes and would always say something to help someone feel important. I know I will always be able to think about him always smiling and enjoying life to the fullest. Papa Doc you will always be in my heart, I feel blessed the time I worked with you. May God bless the Levinson family and friends at this time and give them strength and courage and great memories to carry them through. Sandra Kracke
