Levi was a member of North Vine Mennonite Church. He was a long-time employee of Arthur Farm Power and loved working on equipment and helping the local farmers.
Levi was a dedicated husband to Irene, father to his two children and the many foster children that came through their doors, and grandfather to nine grandchildren.
Levi modeled excellence in all he did. His devotion to his foster children was touching to see. I was proud to be associated with him while he was our employee at Arthur Farm Pride and even took him to Ukraine to teach farm equipment mechanics there.
