Seymour Sonny Levy

To Seymour, the most important thing was his family and what he would always say was most proud of. Seymour was always happiest when surrounded by family and the smile on his face was evident to all to see whenever family would come visit.

Seymour was 96 years old.

Seymour was preceded in passing by his wife of almost 60 years Eleanor, his parents Annie and Morris, and sister Alice and brother Paul.

Seymour is survived by his four children Howard (Randy), Ira (Audrey), Marcia (Frank), and Edward (Lisa), Eight grandchildren Jennifer, Allison (Keith) , Jeremy, Ryan, Rebecca (Patrick), Matthew, Michael (Diana), and Rachel. And 4 great grandchildren Jaxson, Noah, Emerson and Penelope.

Seymour lived in New York, Texas, California, Hawaii, Florida and Colorado.

Seymour served his country in the US Army as a tank mechanic.

Seymour worked as a garage mechanic and aircraft mechanic for United Airlines for over 35 years, where he also served his union (the IAM) in various positions.

Seymour's hobbies included flying planes, motorcycles, jalopy car racing, reading, fishing, hunting, swimming, puzzling of all varieties, traveling, going out to eat, and of course spending time with his precious family.

Seymour was ahead of his time flipping houses in Long Beach, New York. The family would live in one house while Seymour would be repairing a different house a few blocks away.

Seymour could fix anything and many times the family had to eat around parts of whatever Seymour was fixing strewn around the kitchen table.

Seymour and Eleanor loved living in Century Village Pembroke Pines where they had many special friends and enjoyed all the activities, sitting out by the pool, and enjoying all the "early bird" specials together and with friends.

In Colorado, Seymour lived in V-Esprit, where he lived out the last 5 years of his life. Seymour enjoyed all the activities there-book club, high tea, Saturday movies, Friday breakfast, Happy Hour, Birthday celebrations, etc. The staff and residents at V-Esprit treated Seymour with the utmost dignity and respect and were instrumental in Seymour living independently.

Seymour loved all his family equally as all his children can attest, but Seymour and his grandson Jeremy, shared a special relationship. Seymour was there when Jeremy was born and was at every significant event in Jeremy's life. Jeremy always made Seymour feel loved and appreciated and vice versa. Jeremy and Seymour would spend hours together sharing stories or just sitting together silently. They enjoyed time in the Shalom Park pool every week while they could and talked on the phone when they could not be with each other. Seymour would smile so broadly when Jeremy played the piano for the residents of V-Esprit and would accompany the family to watch Jeremy play recitals. Their bond will never be broken.

Seymour was very active until his final days and passed away peacefully surrounded by family.
