Paul H. Levenson, a man whose life was a testament to family and lifelong friendships, was born in Brookline, Massachusetts on March 8, 1934, and peacefully passed away on October 19, 2023. He was 89 years old.

He is predeceased by his first wife, Rose Levenson and his second wife, Phyllis Levenson.

Paul was a man deeply engaged in life. He loved socializing and had a wonderful ability to make everyone feel like family. To be greeted by his good-natured banter and teasing was to know, you were welcome and that he liked you. Paul co-founded North American Industries, a bridge crane manufacturer and after he retired, pursued his passion for creating metal sculptures. He was a life-long learner and throughout his retirement was enrolled in various classes. Above all, Paul was a true gentleman and a dear friend, with his closest friendships lasting over sixty years. He was well known for his oratory prowess. His beautiful toasts, though often a bit long, were a hallmark of family gatherings and his "Paul-isms" were legendary within the family.

As with his art, Paul’s life was a masterpiece of love, kindness, and connection. He leaves behind a legacy of cherished memories. May he rest in eternal peace, his spirit forever alive in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing him.
