Alan B. Levy ’60

Alan died Oct. 21, 2011, after a heroic but brief struggle with pancreatic cancer. Born in Titusville, Pa., he graduated from high school there, where he had been active on the student council, school newspaper, band, and chorus.

At Princeton, Alan majored in music and wrote his thesis on “Early Beethoven Variations.” He worked with the New Jersey State Diagnostic Center and New Jersey Neuropsychiatric Institute committees and belonged to the band, Chapel Choir, Premed Society, and Wilson Lodge.

After graduation, he studied medicine at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia and met and married Mary Ann Chudy when they were both residents in psychiatry in Cincinnati. Alan served in the Air Force as an officer assigned to Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio.

He and Mary Ann moved to Denver, where he took up private psychiatric practice, was chief of psychiatry and director of the psy chiatric units for St. Anthony Hospital Systems Denver, and taught psychiatry at Colorado Mental Health Institute at Fort Logan.

The son of musicians, Alan loved music and played trumpet, trombone, clarinet, and piano. He also delighted in his sons, Evan and Glenn; daughter-in-law Debbie; and grandchildren Alex and Courtney. To them and to Mary Ann, the class sends sympathy.
