Allan “Doc” Levy born May 28, 1927 of Saranac Lake, NY passed quietly on April 8, 2018 at 90 years old. Doc graduated from Columbia University and went on to complete his Doctorate Degree at Cornell University. Beloved son and brother, loving Father of Lisa, her husband Michael, Debbie, and Paul (Deceased), devoted grandfather to Robin and her husband Michael L. and his great grandchildren Allan, Brayden, and Michael S. Allan was a kind and gentle man who enjoyed the intimate company of his adoring family. Allan retired from the US Navy as a medic, and served his country in WWII.

Doc began his career locally serving his community as a family physician in Westwood, NJ. He went on to become the Chief of Sports Medicine at Pascack Valley Hospital and treated athletes far and wide. Doc is legendary in his accomplishments, widely known as the father of Sports Medicine, and spent much of his career in professional sports, but is best known as team doctor of the NY Giants for 30+ years.

He passionately dedicated himself to his work and captivated the hearts of people everywhere. He cared deeply for his friends and worked tirelessly to provide patients with true healing.

Doc also dedicated his time to the Living Heart Foundation, an organization that aids former players with the medical care they need to lead healthy lives beyond the game.
