Son of David and Zivia. Born in Kfar Shmaryahu on October 30, 1946, his parents, Holocaust survivors, arrived in the country as immigrants a few months before his birth, and was named after his grandfather who perished in the Holocaust. “At the end of the War of Independence, when his parents started looking for their purpose in various forms of settlement, Levi moved with him to several schools, where he studied at the Brandeis School in Herzliya, And when the family moved to the Haifa area he studied at the Oranim school in Kiryat Tivon and continued at the “Basmat” school near the Technion in Haifa, which was not easy but Yaffa and rich. And his personality, character, and aspirations were shaped in his way of life: From his childhood there was a rare combination of love of nature, a developed technical sense and a tendency to delve into everything around him. He was a member of the Gadna Air Department at his school, where he acquired fundamentals in the field of aviation, and his ambition to practice aerospace began to materialize after completing the eighth grade, when he embarked on the first course of the Gadna-Air program. He completed the course as an outstanding trainee, and until his enlistment in the IDF he went through the entire training course, from the foundations of the flying to the gliding, and he began to develop photography after he received a camera as a Bar Mitzvah gift. He loved the country, its landscapes and its flora, so he traveled extensively throughout the country and took an interest in flora and fauna in different parts of the country. He attended high school at Sammat School near the Technion in Haifa. As a student in electronics, he won many awards for academic excellence and for his achievements in practice. In the school he also had strong friendships with many friends who continued to be his best friends for many years. After completing his studies, he debated whether to enlist in the IDF or to continue his studies in the academic reserve, and at the end chose the reserve, studied at the Technion and even won awards and scholarships for his achievements in the electrical engineering department. From the great knowledge he acquired in this school. Levy was drafted into the IDF in the framework of the academic reserve in late August 1964. During the break from school, he underwent basic training and took part in a course for officers and officers. During the Six Day War, he fought in the infantry in various battles in the West Bank, and after the end of the war went to visit his parents, who served on behalf of the state in Zambia. While there, he helped his father provide agricultural and technical training to local residents. In this work he proved to be an excellent guide, who knows how to teach, how to like people and gain their trust and appreciation. After being awarded an academic degree in electrical engineering, after completing his studies, he volunteered for an aviation course and, after completing successfully, was assigned to a helicopter squadron. In 1970 he married his girlfriend Irit and together built their home and established a family. As a pilot in the helicopter squadron, Levy participated in the War of Attrition and in many pursuits of terrorists. After a while he was appointed to the position of chief of staff as an electronics engineer, and since then he divided his time between this position and operational flight within the framework of the squadron. In the Yom Kippur War he fought in the squadron, and when the fighting ended, he returned to his professional position, which was integrated into operational activity. He excelled in all the positions he held in the corps, and his commanders wrote very good evaluations of him. They praised aHis sense of responsibility, his skill, his willingness to help others and his high level of knowledge in all fields of aviation and electronics. On May 27, 1974, Levi was escorted to the wounded family by his commanding officer, who wrote to the bereaved family: “Levi was one of the most important pilots And serious of the squadron. He had extensive fields of activity in addition to the flights. We took advantage of his extensive knowledge of the fields in which we were weak, and he was the best in them. We loved and appreciated his advantages, his sense of humor and his connection to the squadron. Among his other qualities, it is worth noting his willingness to help and go toward others, even when it was at the expense of his comfort. You can take comfort in the fact that your son was sent to the most noble and noble mission of ‘rescue the wounded,’ which is why many people owe their lives to your son Levy. “His family commemorated his name by erecting a monument and public park in Alonei Abba in the Jezreel Valley.
