Dr. Louis Benjamin Levovsky

Dr. Louis Benjamin Levovsky, of Framingham, formerly of New Bedford, Fall River, and North Dartmouth passed on May 10, 2021 at 86 years old. Beloved son of the late Max and Mildred Levovsky. Loving brother of the late Arthur Levovsky and sister Laura Kadish. Beloved former spouse to Deborah Levovsky and Claire Levovsky. Loving father to his four daughters, Susan Bley, Risa Levovsky, Lori Cohn and Caryn London and their respective spouses Lou Bley, Michael Cohn and Robert London. Stepfather to Sue Mancall, Louis Karten and Bruce Karten and their beloved spouses, Matt Mancall, Carolyn Karten and Laurie Karten. He leaves behind his cherished sixteen grandchildren, Sydney, Darien, Elliot, Julia, Jacob, Gabriel, Emily, Samantha, Lily, Ben, Allie, Jordan, Adam, Noah, Jared and Aaron. Survived by loving nieces, nephews, and friends, as well as the hundreds, if not thousands of patients, who he treated throughout this career in Allergy and Immunology at The Truesdale Clinic in Fall River and Aquidneck Medical Center in Newport, Rhode Island. He was a man, who wore many hats and was always surrounded by those who loved him.

He grew up in New Bedford, Massachusetts, where he was a wonderful son to his hardworking parents and truly the apple of their eyes as he became a successful Allergist after years of studying at Cornell and Boston University Medical School and suffering himself from severe childhood asthma.

Lou loved his whole family deeply and would do anything for them. From spending time at Bakers Beach, Cathy Temple, Davey’s Locker, family weddings and Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, he was always happy to be surrounded by his family before he sacked out for a nap!!!!

He was so proud of all of his 16 grandchildren. Saying their names and talking with them about their career aspirations, love lives, and grades always brought him so much joy and made him smile.

His passions included his love for the Pats, the Red Sox, CNN, the stock market, and the goings on in Washington. He’d always say I am very happy and very comfortable as he was stretched out on his couch watching all of these things on TV.

He had special nicknames for his family and friends and that is something we will never lose. And he had so many sayings, better known as Lou-isms:

Sit at my feet and learn!

My grandmother got here from Odessa, you can find your way!

Little kids, little problems, big kids, big problems

You learn something new every day!

To know me is to love me!

Lou Levovsky was simply an incredible person and true inspiration to many. He was so loved and will forever remain in all of our hearts.
