He will be lovingly missed by three daughters: Sharon married to Larry Groff, Carol married to Dennis Buckwalter, both Lancaster, Debra Latham, New Holland; eight grandchildren: Kristi, Jason, Michelle, Mindy, Shawn, Matthew, Ryan, Brandon; 13 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by two sisters and four brothers.
Private interment in Mellinger Mennonite Cemetery will take place at the family’s convenience. The family would like to express their gratitude to Calvary Homes for the care and compassion extended to Levi.
