Allan was born on August 19th, 1938 in Chicago, IL to William and Charlotte (Harris) Levey. He attended two high schools in Chicago, IL beginning at Austin High School until the second semester of his second year when he moved and finished out his high school education at Von Steuben Metropolitan. After graduating, Allan continued his education at the University of Illinois in Champaign. After completing one semester majoring in accounting he decided to pursue his dream of being an artist against the advisement of his parents and transferred to the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts.
With an art education under his belt, Allan went on to have a great career in advertising and eventually owned his own design studio, Aristo Graphics. After moving to Phoenix, AZ in 1980 he continued working in sales and after 60+ years in the workplace he stubbornly retired in 2015. Allan was a true example of work ethic.
He married the love of his life, Joyce H. Soloman on May 14th, 1960 in Chicago, IL and went on to raise three children.
Throughout his life, Allan had many passions; gardening, painting, flying, fishing, stocks, quick trips to Laughlin, but most of all he enjoyed making the people around him laugh.
Allan was preceded in death by his wife Joyce, brother Howard, and parents Charlotte and William.
He is survived by his children, Michael Steven Levey & his wife Melony (Worthington) Levey, Jodi Lisa (Levey) Henry, and Stacey Elise (Levey) Lucas & her husband Jim Lucas, nine grandchildren; Tonya Marie (Levey) Reynolds, Joshua Matthew Levey, Marlee Faye Bjork, Nicole Fay (Levey) Lee, Haley Paige (Bjork) Perrone, Breanna Rose (Levey) Richart, Elana Joy Levey, Jordan Tyler Levey, Joseph Ryan Levey, 13 beautiful great grandchildren, and sister, Linda (Levey) Schechter.
