Obituary

Mortin Aaron Levy, age 87, beloved husband of Karen Sharpe Levy, loving father of Melissa (Harris) Perlman, Michelle Levy, and Lisa (Matt) Kral, adoring Zaidie of Noah, Mia, Audrey, Ella, and Adela and Bliss, and canine companion Wesley. Dear son of the late Rabbi Louis and the late Sadie Levy, cherished brother of the late Maurice Levy (Eve), the late Esther Robinson (the late Jerome), the late Leonard Levy, brother-in-law of Deeann Levy, and special uncle and cousin to many. He was a member of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Board of Trade; owner and breeder of thoroughbred horses during his time as partner in Glencoe Farm in Lexington, Kentucky; and part owner of the Chicago White Sox from 1981 to 1990. Devoted supporter of Jewish education and lover and publisher of cantorial music. Guided by a strong moral compass, his life serves as an example of honesty, achievement, and caring for his family.

Our deepest condolences on the passing of Mortin. I have memories of the days when we, along with your brother, played golf together. I also remember all the dime bets when we played at Edgebrook, Chick Evans, and Sportsman golf courses. Shalom.

I was so excited to find out that Mortin was marrying my good friend Karen, who was in my bunk at Camp Ramah. They had such a wonderful life together, and I adore the whole family .I miss not seeing them in Florida, but I try to keep up with their lives. Mortin was a terrific patriarch and role model for his children and grandchildren! RIP cousin! xoxo

I always considered myself to be part of your extended family and treasure the memories of the time we spent together over the years. May you know that I will miss Mort and hope that we will still be together as a family. May you be at peace and know that you are in my thoughts.
