I just heard about Bobby's passing via a friend on Facebook. So saddened to hear. What a great guy he was...a fantastic accompanist. I had the joy of knowing him in high school when he played for me at recitals and contests.  My condolences to his family.

I had the privilege of working with Dr. Levin for several months. He was an exuberant, generous individual who will be greatly missed by all. My condolences to his family.

I'd like to add my sentiments to this collection of tributes to Robert Levin. The fact is, I didn't know Robert very well, but I saw him probably more than most since I was his next-door neighbor here at Windsor Court for the last two years. And he was unfailingly friendly, gracious and kind-hearted, often asking about my young son who lives in China. We had some fun exchanges about our non-existent noise annoyances that we worried we might cause for each other, the fire earlier this summer in the other tower, and above all, his beloved pooch Cosette. I was shocked to learn of his sudden passing, and I want to extend my condolences to his family, his colleagues and his friends. Robert was a good-hearted gentleman who departed this world way too early.  Sincerely,  Edward Flynn

Robert or as I knew him as a child, Bobby was my only male cousin on my father's side of the family.  I have the most wonderful memories of being a kid and having the best talks with Bobby.  Some may not be aware of this but Bobby had the most gorgeous red hair as a young boy and my brother followed suit years later.  They must have got the red hair from our Grandmother since I know of no one else with it.  Bobby was always compasionate, giving and loving and quite the pianist.  He would listen to my problems without judgement, predjudice and always made me feel like I was the only one who mattered in the moment, even it there were other family near.  Years later, I would look forward to Dr. Bob coming home to St. Louis so I could catch up with him and hear about his passion for his work with children and all the exciting things he was able to do in NYC (He did love the theater even as a teenager)  I may be recalling this wrong but, I believe Bobby was in a play in highschool called the Pajama Game where I first realized his talent in theater.  I may be mistaking his sister Toni being in the play though and Bobby just watching it with me.  Either way, Bobby did love theater and performing arts.  He spoke of how he loved what he was doing and felt fortunate to be able to make a difference.  Both Bobby and Toni (his sister) are so very gifted and I always felt honored to look up to them both and call them my cousins.  It's comforting to read through the messages on this site as I have been absent from his life in recent years.  Rarely a day goes by without thinking about Bobby and what a great childhood I had in part because he was in it. Bobby is truly loved and  missed. 
God Bless!

I've Known Robert Since 1999. He was a patient of mine at my Eyeglass practice, at Windsor Court where he lived. He always came in with such energy. Everytime he passed by the store he would always come in and bring cheer with his Dog. I'm a Dog owner also so we also chatted about our (children). We always greated each other with a hug. His personality was larger than life. I was shoked to find out about his death through a Security gaurd. I hope his dog is being taken care of. My ccondolences to his family and friends. He will be truly missed.

I've known Robert for 17 years, first as a co-worker then as a supervisor, but always as a friend. He'll be fondly remembered and sorely missed.

Bob's spirit and energy were large. He was always willing to give and share. We bonded over our dogs (aka children). Blessed be, I will keep his spirit in the light.

We cannot remember the last time, if ever, we have met such a generous, free-spirited, and self-less a person as Robert was.  The memories that we shared with him are among the happiest we have ever had.  His quick wit, encyclopedic knowledge of all things cultural and theatrical, and love of life were so special that they inspired all those around him to live life as passionately as he did.  Robert's memory should motivate all of us to live each day to the fullest, to indulge in the beauty of art, and to be loyal and loving to our friends, as he was each day of his life.  The theater will be a lonely place without him and his explosive laugh, but it will be impossible not to think of him and the joy he brought to us whenever we go see a show.

My condolences to the family.  Levin was to me a person that all you could do is love him.  Everything about him in my heart will be so very miss.
REST IN PEACE.

As a former co-worker of Dr. Levin, I was lucky to have been showered with his intelligence and carefree and fun-loving spirit.  He definitely made the workplace more fun.  My thoughts and prayers are with the family.  I have a pretty little lamp Robert once gave me that I use in my baby's room and I think of him every time I look at it.

Bob's energy, intelligence, generosity, work ethic and sense of adventure were part of what made him an exceptional human being. I am thankful for having known him and for the memories I have of him.

Sincere condolences to the family of Dr. Levin our thoughts are with you during this difficult time. Dr. Levin was a wonderful person who will be greatly missed.

Bob will be missed by so many people in so many ways. His huge heart, his irrepressible energy and positivity, his unique set of interests, great intellect, and his love of life rubbed off onto all he encountered. The gap that those of us are feeling in our hearts and minds without him is huge, and will always belong to him. 

We miss you, Bob.

My sympathies go towards Robert's mother and family. Dr. Levin was a great person and it was a privilege to have worked with him.

Robert was dearly loved and is sorely missed. His laughter brought so much joy to those around him. Somehow the world seems like a sadder place without him.

My condolences to the family of "Dr Levin."  May the warm memories of the good times spent together bring you comfort during these sad times.  Worked w/Dr Levin since 1993 and must say he was truly a loving, caring and generous individual.  Full of life and energetic. He is deeply missed. "So special, so loved so warmly remebered."

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

To Robert's family,

My sincere condolences at this time of grieving. Robert was a dear colleague and friend who brought joy to the people whose lives he touched. I had the privilege to work with him closely since 1994 when we both began at Family Court.
