Jeffrey Allan Levenstam

Obituary

Jeffrey A Levenstam, 69, was the devoted husband of Jean (née Hillebrandt), and a proud Son of Seymour and Sally (née Rogoff). Jeff was the perfect middle brother, the glue that bound older brother Barry and younger brother David together. Jeff was also a wonderful brother-in-law to Barry’s wife Elizabeth Landes and a doting uncle to his niece Sarah and her husband Keenan Bartlett. Jeff was born and bred in the first Mayor Daley’s Chicago, and graduated from Mather High School, where he was elected President of the Class of 1973. For many years, Jeff was a Vendor at Wrigley Field, Comiskey Park, and Soldier Field, a loyal member of Local 236 of the AFL-CIO, starting out selling peanuts and graduating to selling beers. Jeff also graduated from the University of Illinois in Accounting, becoming a CPA at age 21. Jeff became a recognized expert in International Tax Accounting and traveled the world for his many clients; he was well-respected in his profession by clients and colleagues alike. Jeff and Jean eventually settled outside Petaluma, California. Kind and wise, Jeff was also kind of a wiseguy, with a wicked sense of humor. He was a generous and wonderful husband, son, brother, uncle, and friend, as well as a faithful and loyal dog-lover. To know Jeff was to love him. Jeff will be remembered fondly by many, and deeply missed by all who knew him well. Donations in Jeff’s memory to Golden Gate Lab Rescue would be greatly appreciated. www.labrescue.org
