Mark Levin, 93, of Pompton Plains, New Jersey, formerly a longtime resident of Teaneck, passed away on November 9, 2026, peacefully and knowing he was loved. Born in Latvia on July 23, 1933, to Icchok Levin-Shatzkes and Chava (Eva) Levin-Shatzkes,
Mark immigrated to the United States as a young child and grew up in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan. He attended Bronx High School of Science and later graduated from the City College of New York. He received his Masters from NYU. Mark served in the United States Army and enjoyed a long career in the petroleum industry, working in sales and consulting for several companies, including Shell Oil. In 1955, he married Helene Zukergood, beginning a loving partnership that lasted nearly 71years. Together, they raised three sons and shared a lifelong love of travel, exploring the world with family and friends. An avid sports fan, Mark loved the New York Yankees and Giants and especially enjoyed playing baseball and participating in the family's annual Fourth of July softball games at Circle Lodge. A natural tinkerer and handyman, he took great pleasure in fixing things, learning new skills, and tackling home improvement projects. He was active in the Workmen's Circle Jewish School of Bergen County, helping to build it into a place where his sons received their Jewish educations and Bar Mitzvahs. Following early
retirement, Mark volunteered to teach computer skills to senior citizens at the Tenafly JCC. And he and Helene shared their love of travel with their children and grandchildren. Above all, Mark was devoted to his family, especially his grandchildren and his beloved nieces, nephews and grandnieces and nephews. He was known for his optimism, affectionate sense of humor, loyalty, and deep gratitude for the life he shared with those he loved. He is survived by his beloved wife, Helene; his sons David (Rachel), Alan (Miriam), and Seth (Jill); and his six grandchildren, Eric, Jeremy (Jordyn), Rebecca (Eric), Jessica, Jacob, and Sammi.
