Passing of Bruce Levison (Tefflon rocketry)
2 Attachment(s)
Hello all-
It was a trip in getting here. My name is Andrew Kleinhenz. I am a good friend of Dr. Bruce Levison. I know he posts a lot on this forum. I am sorry to tell you that he passed away this morning. He was taken by COVID 19. I can go on and on about how generous he was. he was instrumental in encouraging me to return to my science career and helped me do so. He and I launched together often here in Ohio. We have our own little field we would often go to. He was a master modeler and loved this hobby with all his heart. He kept his patience while managing scores of cub scouts. He was a guru of RockSim. He even "simmed" my Level 2 rocket. He opened his workshop to me and we often spent afternoons together working on our projects. He was kind-he was our friend. I will miss his endless knowledge of model rocket history. I will miss his friendship. I will miss him terribly. Please pray for his wife Deb. Please pray for his family. Andrew Kleinhenz. TRA #12272 L2 |
I'm very sorry to hear about Bruce's passing, Andrew. He and his knowledge will be missed here at YORF.
I didn't realize he was a published PhD. Here's a link where you can find out more about what Bruce did. https://www.utoledo.edu/med/depts/p...er/levison.html |
Very sad news - Bruce will be missed.
My sympathies to his family. |
My sympathies to friends and family. He is a huge loss to the hobby and the world.

I met Bruce and Deb at numerous NARAMs and I always looked forward to seeing them.
I will miss him. His death is so sad. |
Oh man, this is sad news. I had chatted with Bruce privately a couple of times. What a great guy. What a loss. My deepest condolence to his family.

He was just posting stuff too. This was fast. He and I knew each other when we were students at CWRU. I'm going to miss him.

Wow, that's a gut punch. He just posted the other day. Fun guy to fly with. You never knew what he was going to bring to the field. :( |
