Dear father, since you've gone away, We try harder to carry on the way, we know you'd want us to. His memory is as dear today, As in the hour he passed away. All his toils and conflicts o'er, Lo, he dwells with Christ above; Oh, what glories he's discovered In the Saviour whom he loved.

Colonel Hilliard "Bud" Levy Saturday, September 10, 2005 1920 - 2005 Our beloved husband, father, and grandfather, Hilliard "Bud" Levy, passed peacefully after a swift bout with lymphoma on September 9, 2005, just three days prior to his 85th birthday. Bud was born on September 12, 1920, in Cleveland, Ohio, to Estelle and Harry Levy, and was one of three brothers. Bud lived a life of service to his country and to his family. He always wanted to fly airplanes, and when the opportunity came as a young man he enlisted in the Army Air Corp and was trained to fly the B-25 aircraft, which he did commendably during WWII. Bud was a shining example of the "greatest generation." He also served his country in Korea and Vietnam. Taking advantage of the GI Bill, he graduated from Kent State University with a degree in education. He remained in the Air Force and became a career military officer, an instructor at Squadron Officers School, earned a master's degree in logistic management from the Air Force School of Logistics, and served as Deputy Base Commander at Hill Air Force Base. More than his military accomplishments, Bud will be remembered for his loving kindness and caring; for, above all, Bud was a caretaker to those he loved. Twenty-five years ago, Bud was preceded in death by his first wife and childhood sweetheart, Charlotte. Bud was lucky enough to find love and companionship again with Tess Harper Anderson Levy, whom he married in 1983. Bud is survived by his loving wife, Tess Levy; daughters Joan Levy-Jensen, (Bry); Joy Erickson, (Bill); brother, Harry Levy; grandsons David and Joshua Evertsen; and greatgrand children. Also survived by stepchildren: Kim Couture, Ladd Anderson, Brek Anderson and Jill Gering. Bud was a faithful member of Congregation Brith Sholem in Ogden. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Congregation Brith Sholem, P.O. Box 9741, Ogden, UT 84409. The family wishes to thank the wonderful staff at CareSource for their extraordinary care of Bud and our family. Bud's friends and family will gather for a graveside service that will be held Monday, September 12, at 11 :00 a.m. at Montefiore Cemetery at 4th Ave and R Street in Salt Lake City.
