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.

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 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.
