  1. Dear Todd and Sue-Ann,
    We are so very saddened by the news of Lou’s passing. Judy and Lou came to our Estate Planning meetings in Naples for many years, so we got to know them quite well., visiting them there, in Oakville and even in their Burlington office a number of times. (I introduced them to Peter B.)
    Lou always had such a sharp mind, which was a perfect match for your mother’s. Together, they were a force to be reckoned with. Stay strong, and always be proud of all that they accomplished.

  2. My 1st cousin “Cousin Lou” was a Mentsch, a role model, and a wonderful guy who I am going to miss dearly. My Mother, Millie Citron Levy, was Lou’s Aunt and she call him “ZeistMan” Sweet Man. My Mom used to live in Hamilton but around 1920 migrated across the border with her family to nearby Rochester, NY. One of Lou’s long-term objectives was to keep communication links and visits open and active between the Hamilton Levys and the Rochester Levys and other cousins and Uncles that had crossed the border during the 1920 to 1930 period and settled in Rochester. Cousin Lou and Judy even sailed on their 28′ sailboat from Oakville Ontario to Charlotte Harbor, located in North-end of Rochester. With my Mother’s urging I followed a bit in his footsteps and became a CPA then moved on into the financial field. We both had homes in Naples, Florida and would occasionally dine together, and Lou and Judy always came to our Pesach Saders at our home. I would play the piano and he would sing one of his favorite songs, “MY WAY” a la Frank Sinatra.
    Cousin Lou was a terrific guy and I will never forget him ever.

  4. Dear Levy Family

    I am very sorry to hear about Lou’s passing I have thought about him often in the last few years. He took a chance on me when I was very young and green in the accounting world. I would not be where I am today with out his involvement, support and counsel. My sincerest condolences.
    If there is any social gathering post covid please let me know as I would like to support any event or dedication in his honor.
