Gary David Levey died Dec. 31, 2007, of pancreatic cancer in Naples, Fla.

He was born in Winthrop, Mass., and came to Princeton from Winthrop High School. He majored in mechanical engineering, played intercollegiate football, and was a member of Terrace Club.

After graduation, Gary served as engineering officer of the destroyer USS Laffey, which deployed to the Persian Gulf. Returning to Boston, he received an MBA from Northeastern University.

He was employed by Bethlehem Steel, Texas Instruments, and Polaroid Corp., where he held positions in engineering and manufacturing. After retiring in 1995, he divided his time between Wellesley, Mass., and Naples, Fla. He golfed at Wellesley Country Club and Pelican Marsh Golf Club, and, in his later years, became an accomplished sculptor.

He is survived by Elaine, his wife of 48 years; his daughter, Katherine Levey; his son, John Levey ’83; and two granddaughters, Sara and Jessica Levey. The class extends deep sympathy to them all.
